Just a skinny little kid that sat in the dressing room constantly playing his black Les Paul if my memory is correct. He was a highly regarded blues rocker back then that could play the Jeff Beck Yardbirds stuff like it was his own. Yes folks, he can, he has, he is...... The stuff I see from him today is pale by comparison.
Those were the days my friend........
