Many years ago, a friend asked me to cover for him to do a set of 15 or 16 songs that were all classic rock songs that I'd heard a thousand times. I had to learn 8 or 9 of them in 3 days. We pulled it off with minimal, recoverable screw ups, but that was arguably the most stressful gig I ever played before then and since. My hat's off to you, Chris. You are a consummate professional.

Mr. Buck - I have the UTMOST admiration and respect for what you did here.. Firstly to answer a call of desperation from a colleague/fellow musician who had a majorly important performance in danger of falling through at the last minute speaks volumes about where your priorities and loyalties as a musician lie... And secondly to go into it knowing that you'd be working without a net since the gig wasn't in your usual comfort zone/wheelhouse, with minimal preparation, in front of a LOT of people, knowing also that there were probably going to be some less than perfect moments, and yet STILL putting yourself and your reputation on the line for the cause in such a public forum is just so admirable to me... For the record you did a stellar, stellar job but maybe even more importantly, you made Ms Bailey, her fans and a lot of other people extremely happy...(And gave Elles some added and welcomed exposure via your video as well!)... Good on you mate, you saved the day and deserve every plaudit you ever receive...I tip my hat to you...Great work Chris!!

Well done Chris, great job! Some of what you said reminded me of this David Bowie quote that I always liked: “If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.”

Realistically it wasn’t overly technical for a seasoned professional like yourself. Thanks for putting this up. You’re a modern day session guitar legend.
