Good point. I remember the first time I went to see Holdsworth. I started a conversation with the guy standing in line next to me and I asked "what do you play?" ...he said "nothing!" I was like "what? I thought only musicians knew of Allan", he said "I just enjoy good music" and proceeded to amaze me with the amount of good jazz fusion stuff he was into. They ARE out there!
btw, he was a suburby middle aged nerdy looking fellow who worked for the government Agriculture department, not a young fanatic at all. Of course, all other people in the table once we sat down for the concert were guitarrists, drummers, bass players and a magazine critic.
