I suspect, VERY MUCH suspect, that our good friend sstRams is one HELL of a great guitarist. He's humble, no question about that... but what I have read here, on this board... seen on his Facebook page, learned from his experiences both here AND in private email, watched on YouTube... this guy just may be 'pro' equivalent... and by that I mean MORE than capable of having, with the right luck, been the lead guitarist playing for a band that 'made it'. He's THAT accomplished..... I think.

I've come to fully believe that about Steve.... and I'd LOVE to see this guy do his thing in person.... which got me to thinking... how many of you other musicians are in Steve's league? Before going further... I am NOT. Could I have been?... well, there I'll give myself a 'maybe'. Perhaps even a firm 'maybe". But no... never got to that level. i'm solid and can do a great job backing you up... or could.... but that was my peak.
so anyway... damn proud of you Steve. I know what that level of talent takes... the sacrifices one must make to get there. Not sure I ever told you that.... I'm doing so now. - Jimmy
P.S. Some of you others may very well be at that level yourselves... but so humble I missed it. don't be shy... tell me.
