Hey Mark, when I sat on the side, in Elkton Maryland and watched you play that guitar, and I had my guitar sitting alongside of me, I was sitting next to the wall, I wanted to break it, I really did. No, it's just a figure of speech. After watching you play that Les Paul Jr, you gave me a whole new perspective on playing guitar. I used to tell myself that I wasn't good enough because I played it upside down like Jimi Hendrix, and I'm impressed by the way I play after I heard you play you gave me the inspiration to go at it stronger. So I want to thank you personally for that. So my question is to you, would be, what inspired you to join Wishbone Ash. I've been listening to Wishbone Ash for a very long time, and I always wanted to play like Andy Powell, but Life On Life's terms get in a way. I always told myself that if I ever came back in a different life, that I will want to come back as a guitar player and learn as much as I can the next time around but I'm enjoying it now as I speak. Anybody with 40 plus albums would be an honor and a privilege to play with so maybe I even answered my own question at some point but it doesn't take away that you take guitar playing to a whole new level for me so I'm very impressed. Good luck on your tour, and we get a chance to read this, I'll see you guys in Landis theater in Vineland. Thank you for your Flawless playing. Signed Bob from Sicklerville, New Jersey.

Hi Bob, Thanks for your nice comments and I’m really glad you enjoyed the show in Elkton!
To answer your question, I have also been listening to WA for a very long time and they were actually the reason I wanted to learn guitar as a kid - so I’ve been playing a lot of these songs for a long time.
Cheers
Mark
