Not a problem at all, it would be great to have him drop by. I'll try to fire
you off an e-mail later today. BTW, my e-mail is:

I went to see John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers and Peter Green and the
Splinter group last night on a double bill. Mayall was hot, had people dancing
in the aisles, something I haven't seen in a theatre in 20 years. He has a new
guitar player that makes me look little and dainty, hell, he's make Leslie West
look little in his prime. But man can that guy play. Mayall has always
managed to find great players and this is another one. I didn't catch his
nmae, the PA was less than wonderful, but he's worth hearing. Sounds like he's
from the southern states in the U.S. from his accent. Guy sings well too.
Green and company really stank. Mayall blew them off the stage. There was
only twice in the entire night Peter took a lead. When he did he came across
like the Green God of old. But he just let Nigel Watson play all the leads and
seemed bored singing for the most part. On the good side, he seemed really
alert and together after the show. Signed autographes and was quite chatty.
Took my Les Paul with me (a feat in itself in those old small theatre seats.
The Aladdin, for you locals.) He posed for pictures with John and I, so if
they turn out it'll be great and gave myself and Haden a couple of his picks.
If he's have showed that kind of enthusiasm on stage...Oh Well.
