If he's been playing with BB more than two years, then I have seen him, and he is an outstanding player. At the show in Sandusky, Ohio, though, BB's player (maybe this guy?) had some major gear malfunctions with his SWR head. The sound just totally cut out on him, and I think it took him out of the mains, too. The techs actually were not all that quick to help him, and man, my heart went out to that guy! They eventually brought him out a GK head, but the tone was totally different, and I saw him trying to fiddle with the controls for a while. He eventually hit a pretty good tone, and just laid it down the rest of the night. But he had to have been more than a little stressed for a while, there. If this is the same guy, tell him he kept his composure and played a hell of a gig!
Tom.
