You watch him and watch him, and you hear the sounds, but there is so much going on that you can't see but you can hear....I sure do miss him. I was blessed to grow up in Palo Alto where he was getting started. I met him a couple times, talked to him....He even wrote me a letter! Maybe one day he'll get the recognition he deserves.
@xantheman0120 If you think it looks brand new here you should see it on page 13 of the Stropes book. He's about 15 or 16 years old there, which literally did make the guitar brand new.

Does any one know what became of his Martin?

@489177 It was in his car with him when he went passed away. It survived the accident though. Where it is now I'm not at liberty to say.

He says "what`s a matter with You,boy" and the bass line is a dodgy disco octave thump..

This footage is so intense! Well played whoever posted it... I just realised how much Ani DiFranco takes after this guy

Uh, if this is 1985 he's 32 years old. There are almost certainly earlier recordings of him.
