Well, gosh, thanks Hugh. I had fun and enjoyed the groove of your band. I
wanted to let loose on a couple of the songs but wasn't sure where things
were going so I just kinda laid back. Didn't wanna be a sore thumb.

Yes, I was surprised. The Crate had a nice tone. I liked the tone as well
as any vintage Fender I've heard. Probably a lot cheaper as well. Hugh was
running a '57 through it and I'd sure like to hear the thing with a bullet.

Not yet - but that's the dream. Gotta chase that golden ring ya know.
