[voldpilot]

Hey Freddy, thank you for your great -great

style, I had the privilege of talking with your

mentor Barney Kessell at his home in San Diego some months before he left us

and I'm sure he would be proud to hear you keeping his technique alive so well.

You soar above us all.

Freddy, it's me again one time!

On my opinion you are the best guitar player in the world, yes!

Would you sign my guitar if i send it to you and i would pay the whole costs?

Greetings from germany

[freddym223]

thanks for the nice compliment LuziferDiabolus! better not send the guitar,i might be tempted to keep it.lol :-)
