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.

Ahhhh.. Deke Dickerson! Yes, a great entertainer!
Another band I would recommend is Big Sandy & his Fly Rite Boys!
