Thanks David. I am thrilled to be able to communicate with you like this.

Boomtown is a huge influence on my playing

Collette is also one of my favorites

Larry Klein's bass on "In the Morning" got me started on the "I need a five string Musicman" path (assuming he used the red one I've seen him play with Joni)

You're a great musician and lyricist.

This line floored me when I heard it:

"The cleanup kid is at it again he's the quiet type, came to LA to write but he never made it out of the fringes Keeps a low profile Kick him he'll smile thinks blood is his payment for losing"

great stuff. Coupled with that bass line... damn!
