What They Say

Unsolicited, mostly. The solicited ones are also here and you will not be able to tell.

I have been around ramp guitar my entire life. My father was around it. I have never seen anything like Slish Valez and I have seen everything else.

A promoter

You do not clap after. You just sit there for a while.

A man who was there

We stopped inviting him to the competition. Not for any bad reason. There was just no reason to hold it.

Ramp Guitar Association

He is number one. I am number two. Please stop calling my house about it.

Curtis Bream

My understanding is that he is the best one. That is what everybody told me and then I saw it and that is what I would tell somebody.

A fire marshal

Ed taught him a couple of things.

The interview

Conducted in 2019. Reprinted in full.

So how did you get into it

I was always into it.

Right, but how

I was always into it.

What separates you from the other players

Everything, and I am not going to sit here and go through it.

Fair enough. Curtis Bream told us

I know what Curtis Bream told you.

He said it was complicated

It is not complicated. I am number one and he is number two and it has been that way for thirty-one years and the only complicated part is that he keeps talking.

Last one. What would you want people to know

That it is me. That is the whole thing I would want them to know.

Corrections we are still waiting on

Sent, received, not printed

May

A magazine ran a list of the top ramp guitar players, put him at number one, and then wrote a whole paragraph underneath about somebody else. The magazine has been contacted. The magazine has responded. The response has been contacted.

October

A newspaper described him as "one of the best." There is a version of that sentence that is correct and they had it and they added two words to it.
