Re: Final album from Michael Burks August 21

My copy is on its way.  Though he'll be missed, getting this will help.  Like Amsterhammer's signature line says...RIP Iron Man  (Which he always did when he was alive and playing.)

Play like you've worked at it, and don't worry about sounding like your influences.  You can't cheat on them, or your practice, anyway.  If you've worked hard at your skill, your audience will know it.
