I have sent this to David Oakes to link to his Wyble tribute page, also.

Wow, awesome... Is there a Ted Greene influence?

[jseaberry]

i would guess indirectly at best; Don was a protege of Howard Roberts and Joe Diorio, and with them, was one of the founders of GIT in LA. Jimmy Wyble taught there for a good while, but with Ted not far away in Encino, Jimmy in Pasadena, and Don in LA, who knows? Possibly though Don d/n mention Ted as an influence on his site.

WOW, excellent playing. That dual melodic lines thing is very cool.
