There is a secret power, a silent power called respect. This goes past musical politics and opinionated values given to different genres, techniques and styles. Within all that can be said for the dedication of musicianship and the art of tones and rhythms, there lays the great hidden bow. This is found when one artist says to another with no words, the recognition of the one attribute that goes past all others in what makes a musician special unto themselves, its called passion. Passion is greater than discipline, than technique, than mastering any and all points to any instrument. When one musician, not by site or reputation comes upon another, and by ear alone understands that musician’s story through the passion that they hear, then comes the hidden bow, the respect that is given in knowing what music means to that other musician. This is greater than any spoken word; it is the bond that bridges all music’s and the respect that is given to the dedication and passion that it takes to be something different, something more. You never hear this being spoken, it is the hidden bow of respect, no musical politics or opinionated values stand greater than this. It is the one real meaningful compliment to what music and musicianship truly mean. So I bow to you my friend, and the passion you hold so dear.
Thanks a million AGS for joining our ministry of Blues. It's all about peace, love, understanding, and GROOVE. We hope to perform for you sometime. Wishing you the very best in Blues and life! -Big Daddy

Enjoyed listening to "Fire It Up" ... some great guitar work!
You're also invited to come out to the Victoria & Zeta Five show this Friday for some Texas-Style gunslinger rockin' electric violin blues, psychedelia, and r 'n b vocals, with Victoria Hammill (violin & vocals), Rusty Trapps (drums & vocals), Mike Patric (bass), and Omar Molena (guitar).
I am going to take some time here, very special time :) To send a message to one of the best musicians (and guitarist) I know :) for decades I have felt this way, Tell Mr. Ted Hall that I believe the future of many great guitar players are in the best hands God can give, In fact I would say his hands work through HIS hands :) The future of Austin"s guitar players is paramount to its legendary status of being the live music capital of the world. This runs parallel to those teachers, the masters of the six string legacy, they are what perpetuate the legends of Austin's guitar fame(s) :)
