Hey Paul! You're very welcome, and you most certainly ARE very
worthy!

Interesting! It never even occured to me that there could be two
lead guitarists, but I can now definitely hear the two distinctive
styles. Well, I really enjoyed both his songs and his guitar
playing, I think he's excellent (as are you, for sure). I'm sorry
to hear that he's gone. And I'm not surprised to hear that he's
probably not familiar with the AVs - it seemed more like an
accidental style in common rather than willful emulation.

Yep, you should definitely try to hold on to his songwriting
talents!

Cool, I'm very glad you already got a replacement. I look forward
to hearing him play.

Excellent! I know Cerphe was doing this even when I still lived in
DC (I moved in '98), and I'm very happy to hear he's still at it.
And that he still favors LOCAL surf bands! What a great guy! I
hope it helps with local promotion a bit...
Best, and congratulations again on a fantastic CD.
