A live Video of my partner "Twangking (AKA Phillip Stone) in "The Sally Cooper Duo" performing "Footprints live 2007" (which was filmed during our Trios' performance live at The Royal Orchid Sheraton in Bangkok September 2007) has been featured on the front page of Bangkok Gig Guide!

Check it out here.

Nice for him to get a little recognition like this! He sure deserves it. Quite an amazing guitarist.

Alex Pithie, Editor of The "Bangkok Jungle" publication wrote this about Phillips' performance: "Robben Ford meets Larry Carlton meets Danny Gatton! Awesome chops and fab tone!"

You can see his featured Youtube video window at the bottom right hand corner of the Bangkok gig guide website.
