Re: GEAR LUST and CREATIVITY





    this completely amazed me ... I canıt imagine someone at BB Kingıs 
level
winding a string onstage.  But then after thinking about it, I realized 
that
having a 2nd guitar would destroy the illusion of ³Lucille,² even though
there have been many of them (I think I heard 11 of them, recently).
