I hear ya on the "some way better than me" thing,here where I live it seems there's one on every street.....it really humbles you to see Warren Haynes when he was not well known,wanting to jam with you.
Warren sat in with a friend of mine back then and he had no idea who he was,to put it into his words..."he ate my lunch!"
I had already met him and was aware of his skills,and just laughed at my friend's meekness at just having his rear end handed to him onstage.

Holy crap!
You jammed with Warren?
Too f(_)kin cool! Love his style music, favorite song is endless
Parade.

Warren,yeah,way back in the mid 80's I guess,he played for David Allen Coe and when they were off the road they stayed at a place here in Dickson County Tn.,known as Ruskin Cave that David owned.
It was funny because one song he played while with Coe was the Vanilla Fudge version of the song "Keep Me Hanging On"....he took a long jam/solo on it and he played me a tape of it,he said,"yeah that's some of my s***,when I'm up there playing it,it seems like it doesn't last long and when I listen back to it,it goes on forever".
He was a laid back kind of guy and didn't show out,he just let his guitar do his talking.
I liked him what little time I was around him....and I'm happy that he's done as well as he has...and he wouldn't remember me,but when my son,who has Warren as one of his biggest heroes,talked to him at a show,Warren said "I remember those days at Ruskin".
Sorry for the long winded response,and side tracking your thread Cedarblues.
