^ Yes, mordwyr, I wondered about that too; how much his overt Christianity was working to his detriment.

I imagine that in some arts, Christianity is ok, but somehow it doesn´t sit well with rock and blues. Well, they were famously described as the Devil´s music, weren´t they? And although we may not want to hear lyrics direct from the Devil himself, rock is the music of rebellion, so we want some kind of subversive attitude and preferably a stage presence of strutting priapic menace. Poor old Phil K lets us down on both counts.

^ HaHa ! He´s a great player, and he´s got all these tricks, like the volumen knob twirl and the slapping of the body and strings which adds variety and interest to his playing. Didn´t know you played guitar yourself, Chula; have you tried that kind of stuff - or bought yourself an Ebow:-
