you're welcome. galban's background runs back to the 50's i think and he was strongly influenced by duane eddy along the way. to my ears he has an approach that relates to hank marvin, and other non blues players among peter's influences

the playful things he does remind me of peter every time!

there are a great interviews with ry cooder about finding galban in the early 2000s, working on their collaboration, on mg's influences and background. i'll send you the links if i can find them...
