Clapton just seems to get worse and worse as the years go on. Pilgrim, along 
with Sting's Brand New Day have to be some of the worst albums of recent 
memory.

I think that's why guys like Verlaine work for me, and all of you, i 
suppose. I used to read Guitar World alot when i was 14-15, and trying out 
all these lessons included within which I had no hope of figuring out, 
simply because my body could not handle that much speed. When I heard 
Verlaine and those guys, dudes who could pick a note and actually stick with 
it, say something meaningful... That's when I realized what it was all 
about.

Regardless, Guitar World is an awful rag.

Los Lobos is one of those bands I've always loved but I really don't know 
where to start. That boxed set looks interesting but I don't want to go that 
far. Can anyone recommended a good starting point?


G'nite y'all,
