Great job, Jeppe. The layout is very nice. I really like the font and paragraph spacing that you use. One thing though, the link to "Urban Boards" doesn't work. It's the dreaded "404"

Vinnie --En fuego on this cut!!!

Jeppe -- That was mind-boggling. Aside from his technical wizardry, Virgil just grooves the stuffing out of it. I watched the video 3 times just to hear him play time mixed in with whatever incredible "chops stuff" Virgil plays (he does it with smoke and mirrors, right? No one can play lik...
