Cool, I wish I could do that!

Really cool. Thanks for the post. I had not heard of him before.

I just downloaded his albums on my Zune, now I have something to listen to before I go to bed.

I used to play quite a bit and got my youngest son Josh started on the guitar. He has become a regular guitar-addict and he is the one that first told me about McKee. He takes the old Toto song 'Africa' and just whips ass all over it, essentially replacing the band's full compliment of instruments in the process.

I could watch Mark Knopfler get after 'Sultans of Swing' for hours, too.

There are lots of other great artists on that label also; Candyrats I think is what it's called.

that guy is very very good. He looks almost like a guy I work with.

I've been a fan of his for a couple of years now. Definitely have to respect the talent of someone who strays from the "normal" way to play an acoustic and does something different. There are a few other heavy tappers who are good too, Kaki King comes to mind.
