They even dislike you as a musician, even though they've never seen you live. I always think, before I pass judgement on someone, I need to see him. I've seen you twice now, and I can't say anything bad!! I know a lot of people that are down on you, Andy, because of your outbursts of fury.

I am still at it too, playing in clubs mostly on weekends and Fridays, etc. It's not my full time gig though but love doing it. I heard that James Brown would dock the wages of his band if they made mistakes. Imagine that one hanging over your head. I've heard your music from the 70's. That Sweet FA song, if this really is the same guy who did that, you are a total rock god and people should bow down before your presence. Let me know if you're playing in the US of A, I would make that a road trip.

Any experimental solo stuff of today just for fun. A 2 track live recording with just a rhythmic acoustic guitar with an electric solo guitar on top. Imagine a track that just has some kind of a solo for 3 minutes and that’s it. A piece with grand piano and you singing a lullaby. You doing your stuff, and yet as we’ve never heard you. Little gems for the masses ... :-) Hi Andy

We all want to best, but when is it the best? I guess you already reached the point long time ago to be able to say: I am proud about what I achieved and I can still do it. Maybe your are only just now aware of that. I didnt like you getting so very angry sometimes Andy and sometimes then when that happened I wanted to pull your legs to just pull you of stage and shout at you for being calm and continue the gig where we came for, but on the other hand again I could also understand it. It can be very frustrating indeed when someone messes up something,.. no matter who it is. When the audience is more than happy, shouts for more and come back for another gig; when you know you made a mistake and can fix it next time; when the band plays in harmony together, no matter what goes wrong...I guess that is more than perfect then for good performances. Without the little mistakes and the things to make it better again, life would be sooooo boring. I'm happy with the gigs, but a tour like the Sweet FA one is more than welcome again. I so much enjoyed that. Let them coming. Perfectionist or idealist. We all want to best, but when is it the best?
