A bit of thanks here. On the Radio.Speljamr ("spell-jammer") podcast this week, host Tim Finucane made my tune "Meltdown Man" part of his "Guitar Shredders" episode (really!). He said this:
Today's show is going to focus on some guitar shredders, and you just heard Derek K. Miller with "Meltdown Man." That's his little rockabilly tune, and that is some nice guitar shredding, rockabilly style.
As someone who stopped studying guitar in 1982, and has considered himself primarily a drummer since 1987, I take that as a fabulous compliment. Tim, I send the two-finger salute your way, with a hearty, "rock on, dude!" I mean, I'm in the same show with The Great Kat, which is saying something.
I'm not sure what, but it's definitely something.
