Thank you! I think Carlos was playing a PRS through a Mesa back then, so what I was getting was probably close to his sound.

Wayne,
Thank you, I glad you enjoyed this. We see each other and/or talk occasionally but everyone is is different bands now and life gets in the way. We played together for many years though and it was a very tight band.
