Like I said, I've heard them all including an album he made before getting a 
major label deal.  Oh there were a couple that were okay, but it just isn't my 
cup of tea, (threw in the tea just for you Brits.)  I think "Circle of Steel" 
was one I actually like.  And another who's name I don't remember but had a 
lyric something about "is the ice still on the river..."  But they were just 
kind of semi-pleasant background types of things.  Give the the Allman Bros. 
churning out Statesboro Blues or Whipping Post, anyday.

Man, you are getting old, it's only about a days hitchhike down here. :)
