WFT? I’ve never seen anybody get hit by **Gaudere** ’s Law while correcting his own typo before. 😃

> Dave Mason (of Traffic fame) played the acoustic guitar on _All Along the Watchtower_, so I think it’s actually him banging out those famous chords.

Thanks, I didn’t know that. I knew that his roots were in **Traffic** but wasn’t aware that he played on the Jimi track. Funny thing is, I’ve always loved his (Dave’s) cover of the song.

No problem. While we’re at it, I don’t think it’s widely known that it’s Jimi playing the bass on _Watchtower_. I think he and Noel Redding had another fight that day.
