This is truly odd...I rarely ever open any of these posts 'cause I just don't have a lot of time to do so- I randomly clicked on this one and found a Chris Von Sneidern mentioned. I met him about three and 1/2 yrs ago when I was staffed at the front door of the Guitar Centre in San Francisco. He was a really neat guy and I wish I had got to know him better- I was preparing to go to New Orleans for the first time to visit an old friend and Chris made efforts to dissuade me. I kina wish I had stayed and hung out with him- BUT, in NOLA I did meet some of the most truly wonderful people I have ever had the honour of knowing.
Chris and I exchange e-mails, occasionally...every year and 1/2 or so, I guess...
I have not really heard his music, though, except- if I correctly recall- one song up on his web-site.
