Good Morning Joe
First of all, kudos on the new album. I personally think it may be the most mature of your records, but they're all so consistently good, it's probably a waste of energy to try to prioritize. I always like the new one best just because of new ideas and themes and delivery, which is probably true for most listeners.
Anyway - a question, or maybe a wish. On listening to "Andalusia", (which is absolutely audacious in how the song moves in tone and still maintains the integrity of the underlying ideas) The handclasp opening reminded me of Pat Metheney's "The Heat of the Day". Of course, this convention is not new, but it provoked the thought - "wow, my two favorite guitar players together". Has that ever been an opportunity for you - have you and Pat ever played or even considered playing together? You're both often so cinematic in your writing styles, if you'll accept that terminology, and of course technically there's no need for concern.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to hearing the next tour. Be well.
