There appear to be no hard feelings and the band will miss him. It was an honor to play with him and to contribute anything to him. My intention the whole time was to see James take some musical growth. He is a gentleman who will always be one of the great Blaster guitar players. James is a good friend and will be for the rest of my life.
Interviews are currently underway for a new guitarist.
