Wow, I'm wishing him the best! Not to take anything away from these other 
excellent Veteran players but, out of that list, if they take into account 
'Innovation' & 'Creativity', Jason is the winner by a long shot IMO.

PS...I think having a 'Rock Blues' category is just silly, but that is my 
opinion....is it Rock or is is Blues? Pleeeease!,-) I guess they need a LOUD 
Guitar category..and this be it! In this category Jason also has a tuff go 
against all the Guitar Guys....I hope he wins!!


Wishing Jason Luck!
Rob Paparozzi
