HW: Huw Rejoins

[Steve Moody]

I totally concur. While Dave is far more than just a fair lead guitarist, I
personally feel that Huw's
lead guitar is a perfect complement for Dave's rythym abilities. Seems to me
that rythym guitar as well as bass are often underappreciated. Dave Brock is
an outstanding rythymist, good all around musician and absolutely brillant
song writer and arranger - Thems Me Thoughts
