-I was at a party for this band a few years ago.They had there gear
set up and were asking different people to play.I was asked and a
dummer I knew was there .My current base player was there.So we
played.I was handed a Mosrite.We played rumble and a Shadowy man
song.Then I said "can I play that strat please". I have small hands.
That mosrite was inpossible.Sounded great though. Miller
