A.E.,

Not to nitpick or anything, but they're Swing Gitan (no 'e'). Somehow you strike me as the kind of guy who'd care. It's a good interview, though!

Best,
Jack.

Oops, you're right! Thanks for the clarification.

Has anyone seen his licks book? Is it in tab or standard notation?

Thanks
Charlie

Would've been nice if Alphonso mentioned DFNE in with everything else.

I see. Fine.

Dan,

I'm sure most of us know your tooth ID, and I'm hoping you haven't left the forum over this (just wondering due to the 'guest' post)...maybe you just weren't logged in? Anyway, I know you've got a lot to add, and I hope you stay. It is too bad, like you say, that DFNE wasn't brought up-we need all the help we can get here in the east-but are you sure Alphonso knew about it at the time of the interview? At any rate, stay a bit.

Best,
Jack.
