not only are these guys killer musicians,they are great guys any one of them would give you the shirt off their backs from walker, to hardy,to jon, to jason, ans to brantley all solid kids. i like to try to see them whenever i can afford it, i say this b/c i went to primary all the way through high school with all of them but jon. but anywho stand up guys love em all, even dawson! well i can't say enough about them, they have been an inspiration to me as well as an influence alot of my style of playing comes from what hardy taught me , that dickey betts style of playing, but his influences hasnt thrown him into the same genre of music, but only inspired and molded the kinda of musican he is, and they are as a whole, and walker i cant say enough about the way he plays guitar its unlike anything i've every experienced, i remember being a kid and watching walker play hell we grew up right around the corner, but i was always fascinated by him, b/c he's always been so talented at anytime he could have went mainstream and probably beacame one of the most successful musicians in the rock industry, but it all dpends on how you measure success and walker my friend you have made it as far as i',m concerned. anyway peace and safe travel for all of you guys, tyler chance
