Great, as always, to see and hear you again, Bobby! I DO hope you'll check out the Route 66 pedal and weren't offended by the suggestion. I really think you'll LOVE it, as I do mine.
Hope to see you soon! Please, feel free to recommend me at some of your gigs...I would appreciate it, buddy.
Best always,
