Wow, Unga, thanks for noticing. My computer has been screwing with me lately so I haven't been able to get on.

Another guy that I've been listening to for a long time is the unbelievable 'Deke Dickerson and the Ecco-fonics'. The first time I saw him play was when Mike Ness came through Northern CA with his country band back when I was in college. I remember seeing the show at the Crest Theater in Sacramento, a full on sit down classy type joint. I didn't know what to expect when Deke came on with his double neck Moserite guitar but he absolutely floored me. I really think that his guitar playing is equal to that of the top, well-known, guitar greats. He also has an unbelievable voice and is super entertaining. If you're interested in getting versed in his music, Deke just cut a greatest hits record that should be really good. Oh yeah, the kinda music he plays is everything from straight rockabilly to rock n' roll and country to instro stuff.
