Personal aside: Yes! Exactly the rock that I grew up on, so I felt right at home participating in the local (northen NJ + NYC) practice sessions; even fun stuff like playing Jefferson Airplane bass parts on my D-35. Unfortunately, a major virus (seems that nobody believes in a 3-month-early case of Covid!) kept me from the actual concert.

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
