Fed,
I have a maple guitar,really record well don't they?
The man I was refering to grew up in Rochester.
He's now deceased but still has folks up there.
Most talented person I ever met,played all the circuits around here for about 30 years,just thought you might of heard of him.
That great sound on a 2003 and minimal gear,I definatly have to get me a Marshall,(and some voice lessons!)
Hope to hear more from you and your wife soon!
Best to you,
Pete
