    Got a chance to meet Dann at United Sound Systems in Detroit back in the 90's when he was with Giant. A&M had a listening party and I was the engineer assigned to the session. We had never heard of Giant, so we tripped out when they brought their equipment in and we saw flight cases with "Dann Huff" stenciled on the sides. We got a chance to sit and talk with him and ask him about the L.A. session scene. He was a wealth of information and was one of the nicest people you could ever meet!

    Dann is such a down to earth person. I started listening to him back in the Whiteheart days. After he got to L.A, he eventually used Kasha preamps and Schecter guitars. This was around the "Giant" years. I had some questions about his rig, and wrote a letter to him through Schecter. I included my phone number. One day the phone rang, and my wife said it was Dann Huff. I couldn't believe it, I thought that a friend was messing with me. Anyway, it was him and we chatted for a bit. I'll never forget his kindness. I ran into him at a NAMM Show a few years later. One of the NAMM concerts was Giant! What a show. Thank you for having him as a guest.

    You said it perfectly, you were inferring that the way he played with the mastery of knowing each change, and playing through across changes shows restraint, a self governor if you will, and leaving the listener knowing how hard the player can shred, and go crazy if they wanted, it's like a twiddle tease, and backing off, leaving the eargasm effect of wanting more, never give the crowd what they want, always drawing back from what they expect is an artistic approach only someone who has mastered their instrument, and feel, tone, sound, has the ability to do.

    Man, I can't thank you enough for finding him and bringing him on - he's definitely one of the all time heroes during my formative years and actually until today - I've just turned 59 (!) darn... But I guess, small town country boy, I afforded myself bigger dreams than my britches' pockets would carry and if anything, I'd have wanted to be like him, like the other guitarists he mentions, who were equally big influences for me. I probably gave my band mates a hard time, for going on and on about those tasty embellishments of his or Mr. Jackson's or Steve Lukather's, Michael Landau's, and sat myself down for as long as it took to figure out exactly what they were playing - again, much to the chagrin of my fellow band members, because unfortunately, none of what I tried to absorb I was able to perform on stage for they didn't appreciate the US produced pop music of the time, so our repertoire was different.
    Anyway... old man's woes on my part, I guess. But can't wait for the full interview - so good! Thanks a ton!
