Compare him with a real world class player like Tony Levin, who is also a down to earth pleasant chap. Anyway, Charl has raised an interesting thread. Agreed re Seven Years: >Guaranteed: Seven Years >OH MAN!! What a song. I am enchanted everytime I hear this, Allan's >guitar work is absolutely _superb_.

My other initial votes go with 'I Want Eyes' & 'Sleepwalkers,' but there are bound to be loads more!

I've been a fan of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones (of whom Mr. Wooten is bassist) about as long as Level 42 (ten years or so). He is remarkable for a commanding battery of technique, and well respected for his keen melodic sense. I must say this, The Flecktones and Level 42 are the only bands that I can honestly say are truly original. I've never heard anyone like these guys!! They've got a web page, so search them out! _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
