Thanks for the link Frank. Marty is a bada$$...and so is Cousin Kenny Vaughan. I love how those guys think about music. I particularly like the lowdown greasy lines they do, but they can do it all.

Interesting about Marty's Clarence that Mooney put that lower on. Sounds just like Ralph to take a drill to a guitar and make it do what he wanted. Lots of history among all those musicians in every rendition of Marty's resumé and bands.

Yup, one of the few bands I'd pay to see. And you know it ain't gonna be a stadium production, they're usually in mid-size venues where can actually see them.
