Wow - riding the coattails on Public Radio......never would have guessed.
So - Prince is to Minnesota as ZZ Top is to Houston / Texas......just not sure if KPFT's (Houston Public radio) blues show plays any new ZZ Top - all the stations play the hell out of the old.

I have a technical question: speaking as a guitar player, is tone considered more important than style or ability? If Prince or (lord forbid) Stevie Ray Vaughn produced different tones, would you possibly have decent things to say about them? Also, do you know if this issue of tone is the same for saxophone and piano players?
