He's one of those blessed people who manages to use his talent for connecting emotionally with people to make up for his technical shortcomings. He also makes 3 chords tell a story unlike anyone else.

I watched the "Prarie Wind" dvd a couple of weeks ago and found it lacking that edge and fire he used to have.
