Thanks Joe! I’ve always felt a kinship to Speedy’s controlled recklessness.

Every video a treat

Post by Michael Lester »

Steve is one of the most courageous players on line.
Every one of his videos tackles a tune that takes a lot of effort to learn...

...and then he does the impossible.

Videos the result without a single clam.

Thanks Steve :D
