John Lee, Big Bill, and Blind Willie.... oh you just moved up to the top of my list. If you want a new artist... uh, well not new but still alive and recording... try John Hammond. The man is the quentessential blues guitarist. Also if you are into Stevie Ray Vaughn try this new kid named Justin Fox and his band Catfish Lane... he's 17 years old, but he plays just like Stevie. He's on the island right now opening for the Sugar Bay Blues Festival. (Yeah, go figure, a blues festival down here.) He played "Tin Pan Alley," and if you closed your eyes it could have been Stevie.

Well, I actually picked out most of your humor, including the antiques roadshow one. Now that I know the "rest of the story" (thank you Paul Harvey) it's much funnier. Hmmmmm... I've heard of peeing on jellyfish stings, but epoxy? To each his own. I just hope he's better than I am at not getting epoxy all over everything he touches. Ouch. That could be a disaster.

Architectural Photography? Love it. Large format, medium, or 35mm? I had an 8x10 view camera that I never could afford lenses for, so I traded it for a set of RB67 gear. I wanted so bad to play with vertical shift and photograph tall buildings with the 8x10. Maybe one day!

Well, we're all just alike on this board in many ways aren't we? ... and not so much in others!

Best Regards,

Malcolm
