HW:My trip to the Milkyway/Amsterdam

[Michael Blackman]

Keith Barton... Added some exellent sounds to the amsterdam set at the
melkweg and at the fest seemed to do fine but I couldn't really hear him
well enough to really say.  Then again I was right at the front of the
stage.

Jerry Richards is a definate talent on the guitar and his part in the
Australian studio 22 show was exellent.... but to compare his playing as
being too much like Dave???????  Thanks for the laugh - but I see no
comparison - two totally distinct styles I'd say.

Huw Lloyd Langton - well, no one can compare.  Forever legendary in my book.
