Since he started posting more, I have really started to appreciate the intelligence, wisdom and the pure, unwavering commitment to his craft exhibited by Diki.

All that is certainly enough to to overlook the occasional "slightly more intense than needed" approach, which, I would miss.

His is valuable input.

Chet Atkins had his list of "certified guitar players", including Tommy Emmanuel, my friend Steve Warner, Jerry Reed
and another I can't think of right now.


I have my list of SZ people I would enjoy playing with, and Diki joins Chas, UD, Rory, DonM, Chico and several others.

I'm going to make a point to visit him sometime.

I'm glad he's here.He's welcome on my bandstand anytime.

Blushes...

Man, you more than deserve the appreciation and recognition.

Russ, it's important to note how super nice and thoughtful you are and it was a pleasure to have spent some time with you. Hopefully, we can meet up again (don't try to sell me that Ketron)

Jim, I always regretted that we were so rushed when you visited.

I'll make it to Michigan one day.

If you're near here, give me a holler.


All the best!

I've had the pleasure of meeting Diki about 5 years ago. I guess that means he's in the old codger category now.

Older than 5 years ago, anyway... about ten years older, I think!
