Hi Mark. Thank you for posting this "hidden gem" I hadn't seen before of my all-time favourite guitarist Danny Gatton. I have a copy of the Elmira Street CD that Danny signed for me when I lived in the U.S. and a nicer more humble guy you couldn't meet. He took the time to sit with me for an hour or so and show me some of his playing up close and personal, and I'll never forget him. Greetings to you from Ireland.
