I'll be honest Bethni and Amythist, I know very little of the man and only own one recording, but from reading I can clearly see how much he is respected by his peers and would appear to have a very strong following.

I tend to be in the same boat as EC. I can remember where I was when I heard "Cocaine" the first time, and was impressed but that was it really.
