Thanks maggior - I'll take that as a 1/2 amen :)

One of Alice's early guitarists , Dick Wagner , was from my home town in Northern Michigan - I think that's why I've always felt connected with AC.

The last time I saw AC was around 2003 , he had Ryan Roxie then and he put on one of the best "guitar slinger" shows I've ever seen.

Seeing as though you were thoughtful enough to look into my AC assertion ...
do me a favor ( sometime ) and look up a band called CITY BOY and their guitarist Mike Slamer. He is my #1 all-time guitar hero. I have never talked to ANYONE who has heard of them. I'd love it if you could go to their homepage and give a listen to a few of the samples there ... (Cigarettes / Need A Little Lovin'/ Summer in the Schoolyard....) and just share your impression of the guitar work. (avoid the "hits" Hapkido Kid and "5705" - they aren't the best reps of Mikes playing ) .... I have been trying to do "cigarettes" for 30+ years, I wish I could find someone to tab it for me.

No rush - when you got a few minutes to burn.
Thanks- Ken
