Maybe he`s a fan too. Well I`m surprised Mike hasn`t sued him already to at least get acknowledment for it being his idea. Back to top

He could well be a fan, did he vote in the best guitarists poll do you think??!!! For some strange reason I have been drawn to that album, Back to Bedlam, I don't normally get too interested in what's being pushed under our noses on the radio, but it haunted me a bit. I put it down to the emotion in the songs. If I'm in the right mood, they're fine, if not, the cd's best left in it's case!   bee -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning....

Yes, he does. On the BtB CD booklet, he's the only one credited as playing acoustic guitar on that song, so the intro is most probably his. Aboiut the resemblance - Bee, I agree with you about that, but not about JB's songs: I like all of 'em, a lot. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
