^ I like that backstory! I think everyone loves an outsider who comes out of obscurity for their 15 mins of fame.
The Lady Barber is a song very much of it's time, imo: curious, but not one I'd ever play much I'm afraid, Grace.
Rose Colored Corner worked much better for me.
On the other hand, Plankton's Paul Gilbert post sent me back to a simple blast of teen rebellion that I'm happy to hear again and again:-
"Pick it up, plug it in, Play Guitar!" Hasn't this sentiment been in the heart of a million adolecent boys from Chuck Berry to today!? PG does a great job of catching that irresistable rush of good old rock 'n' roll.
