Max, I too was heavily influenced by your bass groove & John Guerin's drum groove. What an education for any musician to watch & hear you two playing. So sad that he passed away. I enjoyed the shows at the Baked Potato & the Roxy. One time when me and my wife were in San Diego @ Humphreys we got to see you play with your band. I called you about two years ago and you were nice enough to talk on the phone with me for about 30-45 minutes. You & John were/are two of my heroes. Don
