Hey Thanks Stringbender.

Thanks again, - Sat, 20 Aug 2005 2:10am

Nope, it was Ridley. Sorry dude. I recall very clearly "I'm Johnny Cash when I'm drinking, I'm the Clash when I'm thinking...." Even spoke to him after the gig about it, and lo and behold...there on the CD posted above (Blam), the tune Suicidewinder is just that....

I saw Ridley play at the Hillside Festival in July. He grabbed some players from other bands to jam on stage with him (Kate Schutt, Dave Jamrog, and Luke Doucet). It was a great show. Better than the show Buck 65 put on that night. - Thu, 25 Aug 2005 8:58am
