Joey's weight situation is a problem to be sure. Hope he can stay healthy and keep making music for a long time. Same with Tony.

I think you described what I was trying to say more clearly. Joey is a master of technique and musical theory. Tony's no slouch in that are either but I just think there's a little more emotion and musical color to his playing. I'll keep listening to all the CD's I have of both of them and saying WOW.
A razor thin line between them, I could only hope to be half as good.
