I have been really trying not to bust out so publicly on SJ, for fear of generating bad karma, but I remember when I first experienced his, uh, talents. A friend of mine mother (this is back in '89 or so) rented a performance tape of his at the local video store. Ol' Ms. Minott was a pretty hip lady, and I had heard a lot of good things about this guy so I was fairly excited. Highlights: The duds: I don't know if he hired somebody to pick this stuff out for him, but his outfit looked like a combination of Mr. Rodgers and Micheal Jackson. He would play a short set, walk off stage, change his clothes, play another set, leave the stage, change his clothes, play the encore game (you know, when people say goodnight, walk off the stage, the lights stay out, the amps stay on) and come back on in another set of clothes. Each sillier then the last. Prince can do this. I don't know why, but I will pay money to see Prince change his clothes five time in a night (as long as he promises to play guitar) and will be happy. Especially if he is going to use his wah. Stanley can not. The tone: His midi guitar tone is even worse than his electric tone. Far worse. I have to stop myself now. I try not to say things like this because it makes me aware that Stanley Jordan doesn't care or spend time discussing my guitaring (harshly or otherwise) because, well, nobody cares. There I go, thinking those negative thoughts again. Someday, people will take enough notice of my music to spend some time ragging on it. Someday. Trevor
