Although lumpin that gear around in the early hours of the morning did sound like a distinct disadvantage! Glad you like it anyway.<br /><br /><br />Carl - Although i know the name, I don't think i've heard Link Wray, so DHC was a genuine breath of fresh air for me. You are right about live tho - you should try and check him out sometime.<br /><br /><br />Ishould - Cool, glad it hit the spot for you! Thanks also for the tip, have been over to The Flaming Stars myspace page already and I like it!
