Just bought what I thought was the latest CD by this enormously talented guitarist and singer...and instead ,heard what I would call a Michael Buble impression. One of the songs is written about Mr.Dressup. And instead of the National guitar sound,he is on trumpet and flugelhorn. So,I googled him and found out that he had just died[1960-2005] and found a moving tribute to him from members of his family. So,I am very sorry th hear of your passing,Chris..and hope you are back playing guitar in Heaven with Jimi,Stevie Ray and all the old bluesmen you used to emulate on your records The CD is called "While I'm Here"

Oh that sucks! He was a great talent and it's sad that he had gone relatively unnoticed for years. I bought his album "Living With The Law" years ago, then didn't hear anything about him since. I will definately have a look around and pick something up more recent in his memory.
