I really like a song of his called "Gravy Waltz." Re: Speedy West and Jimmy Bryant ... This may be blasphemy to some, but they are a little bit too much chops, too flashy for me. Which is a weird criticism from someone who enjoys Eddie Van Halen's playing on the early VH albums (and only the early ones). I love the guitar players in Bob Wills' bands as heard on the Tiffany Transcriptions stuff. Precursors to Speedy and Jimmy I guess but a lot more "soulful" to my ears. PS I agree that 'Please Advise' by Berne/Paraphrase is great. Like it better than 'Visitation Rites', for sure. WY
