Hey Mojo,
I saw you mentioned Hershel Yatovitz (sp?). Before he got the gig with Chris Isaacs he played with a guy named Paul Durham who is a great singer/songwriter and they produced a demo that Hershel is all over with some outstanding playing. It's a great record if you want to check it out go here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/blacklab4 Really good stuff! eo.
