Syd is really a nice guy - I emailed him on a couple of subjects and he was more than willing to answer my questions and very truthfully. On of our veteran rocker gentleman in the true sense of the word. More impressive is that you can download six FULL tracks of Syds for free. It would be nice to see more artists witht his type of spirit. Thanks Syd and like I told you - YOURE A GEM!
