Pete,
Afraid not on the Mel Bay part (lol). Yeah I guess I post more of the BSO stuff here. I play alot of Stray Cats songs too, but the BSO stuff is generally harder to figure out and/or play (more instruments with all the horns drowning out the rhythm guitars, jazz progressions, etc.) For gear, nothing special, I mainly use a combination of Gibson/Fender/Marshall for guitars and amps, RE-20 Space Echo, Wah pedal, and a talkbox. I played/play in bands from time to time over the years, but it's hard to mount a tour when you can only set foot on land once every ten years (lol)!
