Closing - "The Outer Light" or "Inside the Light" (they haven't decided
yet) by Butterflies and Zebras (Norm Howard, and Steve Northover - the
SWT dude) - "I tuned my old acoustic to a C modal tuning that I like
(CACDCE). I asked Norm for some east Indian sounds which he
proceeded to make flawlessly, using a glass slide and his sunburst
strat. Without warning, he launched into a rhythm pattern, using
his delay to double up what he was playing (the delay is in time with
the rhythm so it's there, but you don't notice it, so it's kind of
ghostly). I took the solo, clean first with a TS9 for light
distortion and then the wah, and finally clean again. Towards the
end, I switch to rhythm (no delay) and Norm solos, using the same delay
that he used for the rhythm. He's tasteful and heads for the stars
during the fade out" -
