   I understand you have musician friends that... blah blah blah. I still   
   think you're smoking crack, the guitar solos on Home at Last and Josie   
   are genius.   
      
   I see nothing wrong with his style on Aja. It's relaxed, yet jagged,   
   much like a sting ray... Walt's playing on Aja has greatly influenced   
   my own playing. Sure he's no Stanley Jordan or Wes Montgomery... but   
   come on, the guy ain't no hack either. He's Walter "mutha fukin"   
   Becker, respec'.   
      
   He's an artist, a pioneer...
