NBC: Loud Alert

[Steve Ahola]

Patrick:

To clarify your post, can you confirm that only the first two sentences 
were about Coco Montoya and that the rest of your post was about Scott 
Mckeon?

The comments about the bass player and drummer were particularly 
offensive if they were directed towards Coco's regular band (Steve Evans 
and Randy Hayes) who are top-notch musicians as noted here previously.

Thank you

Steve Ahola

P.S. Just wondering- while Coco may have played loud enough to "peel 
paint" at certain points in the show, did he also play "Do What You Want 
To Do" with the 'talking guitar' interlude? That song has quite a range 
of dynamics from whisper quiet to paint peeling loud (speaking of which, 
Albert King certainly knew how to peel the paint from the walls).
