Yeah, been watching that one and wishing... But I cant swing the $500, let alone the $60 shipping...

You need to send me that case! Interesting that it has KDKB and Arizona stuff on it.

Thanks guys! Dave sent me some autographed CD's and one of them was the Alex Masi CD that he did the vocals on. Some of you may remember the song "God Promised a Paradise", well that was David Fefolt on vocals. I had forgotten about that song. Here is the video:

Love that song, and have done for ages! Cheesy, but catchy. Mr. Masi posts sometimes at the Shawn Lane "Memphis Monster" forum. Shawn Lane was a major influence + friend (I think) of Masi.

Slightly offtopic then, but you guys should check out Masi's newer releases, especially his latest solo album. Crazy playing throughout. Very short clips of him just jamming:

Notice he still plays a 750XL! Guy has good taste in guitars.

Congrats on the 5A, Alvin_Wilson. Always loved Charvel neckthrus. Very beautiful lookin'.
