The worst would've been in the late 80's, when a Poison fan told me that I play ALMOST but NOT QUITE as good as C.C. Deville.
The best is a tie between Larry McCray saying that I'm his favorite local player, and Mark Farner's brother, Rick telling my oldest son "You're dad's the greatest guitar player that I've ever heard". That was an ego boost!
Now if I could only make it pay!
