    Yeah - he is very good;

    Played for Neil Young for a long time, on both of Neil Youngs best records: Tonights the Night and On the Beach.

    Then went on to play with the E street band and the boss.

    I think he has had several solo albums out.

    I think he also sessioned for the Buffalo Springfiled and CSNY....

    Should be a good night.

    He still is part of Springsteen's band - the E Street Band. He played in Neil Young's Harvest when he was only 16 years old.

    Yep. saw him many years ago at Birmingham town hall. Would love to see him again.
    Always has a scarf hanging from the neck of his guitar.

    Would love to photograph him.....(That's what I do. [shameless plug alert!] see flickr link below. :oops: )

    If he fails to perform a back flip off a mini trampette at least once during his set then collar him in the bar afterwards and demand restitution.
