Right, Kevin, as i've said before. That's "Iron Feliks", head of "cheka" (×Ê - the Emergency Commission) who used to say, "a chekist should have clean hands, burning heart and cold head". He was another symbol when i was a kid...

I thought Feliks was a Fender man. That's all you ever saw at those Bolshevik parties, Fender, Fender, Fender.

Killer players those chaps, hence the gun technique.
I'm just happy to be here.

My first bass was a Rickenbacker...
My best bass is a Rickenbacker...
My last bass may very well be a Rickenbacker

It may just be that photo, but I think it's a combination of the sweep of your hairline and the angle of your eyebrows that made me think of the surviving Blues Brother.

Tony does have a pronounced likeless with Dan Akroyd, in this picture. I have been told I looked like John Travolta in Pulp Fiction, but that was several years ago. Tony, I'm still "mad" for a CD ...
