I was accompanying a friend who edited Guitar World Magazine at the time. He was very sweet to talk to (I put my foot in my mouth-he plays Ellington's Rockin' In Rhythm on Henry The Human Fly-I asked him if he played it in real time. If I paid more attention, it was obviously overdubbed. RT was a bit embarassed, said no, it had to be overdubbed, but was kind to me...)

	7:14pm Observations: ↳ doctorjazz @7:12 Very cool story! Yes, he's a wonderful person for sure.

	♥ 7:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Shoot Out The Lights" by "Richard & Linda Thompson" This was the album that was supported by their US "divorce" tour-supposedly they were at each other on the tour, divorced at the end of it.

	7:48pm Observations: ↳ Roberto @7:43 Great! I'm glad the tunes are helping!
	♥ 7:48pm doctorjazz: I believe RL now lives in Joisey, my home state.. Have seen him do a good number of solo shows, including an outdoor pandemic performance. Seem a few of his "all request" shows, which are a trip!
	♥ 7:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @7:48 At one request show (he places slips of paper at every table, has you write in 2 requests, then draws them at random from a bowl and plays them), he got a request for The Beatles "And Your Bird Can Sing", with it's multiple fast guitar lines.
