Dave, your thoughts are more than welcome, if this post was filled with just John’s thoughts it would be boring. I am a home player, and that makes a big difference in my set up. I, like you, had a band that could play Misty, and go to Johnny B Good. Being a home player gives me the advantage of creating what I call, the ideal band.

Live situation: Johnny B Good -- Misty
The sax player has a rough growling sound for Johnny B Good. For Misty the sax mellow sound with some vibrato.
The guitar, which I know the most about, normally has a Fender guitar – a solid body with the ability to cut through the rest of the band. Misty, a hollow body guitar with a mellow tone – a rich sound. Mine guitar was a D’Aquesto guitar.

Now here is one thing that is very difficult to change, what kind of music did I grow up with. I do a great Misty, and just about fair Johnny B Good.

Dave, you have the ability to be more than a gentleman, I like you that way, it fits you better.

Have a great healthy, prosperous, New Year, John C.
