Throughout the '90's, when Eric and I played together, it was almost exclusively as an acoustic duo, although we never let that limit us. We played a lot of rock and roll music in an acoustic format. One night we closed a set with Jimi Hendrix's arrangement of Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower. Eric played his Martin guitar through a processor and the sounds from his guitar included delay, wah wah, distortion, etc. just like Jimi's original. Turns out a Martin guitar rep was in the audience. He walked up to Eric and said, "I don't know whether to take that guitar away from you or make a poster." What a proud moment that was. |
