Great interview. Thanks for posting it.
I found the whole internet uproar over the Silver Sky to be a pretty interesting treatise on the human condition and the convoluted notions and mythology that people subscribe to.
I remember one statement by a self anointed electric guitar pundit that the Silver Sky would be dead in the water in 6 months, and die a quick death once they hit the dealers !!! . People are so funny
A year in now and the local independent dealer in Ft Collins still cannot keep a Silver Sky in stock long enough to even "hang it on the wall " He gets them in, in ones and two's and then calls up the top few people on the waiting list, and they are out the door in hours , such that I still have not been able to get my hands on one to try .
