Widespread Panic died 12 years ago with Houser.
What they do now can be fun and sometimes musically enjoyable, but it's not Widespread Panic. It's something else.
Houser was the creative heartbeat. The rest were riding his coattails. They still do on the catalogue of music he left them. they haven't put two decent songs on an album since his untimely death.
Houser is one of only a few guitar players who I can hear hit two notes and I know exactly who I'm listening to. It was so unique, you either love it or hate it.
RIP Mikey.

Any of you chumps at the party at the old Chelsea's the night he passed? I think there were bout 20 folks there that night. We played boots and got lit until close. Good times.

Do you think Jimmy Herring is a talented guitarist?

Yep. I gave George a shot in late 2002, and it was dreadful. I've watched a few webcasts of WSP with Jimmy, and it still doesn't do much for me. Respect them for forging on, and I'm sure that's what Mikey wanted them to do, but it just doesn't move me like it used to.
