Met him at the Melbourne Music Expo back in the '90s.

Cool dude. Versatile geetarist.

I remember I asked him some question about soloing and his answer was, "I just bullshit my way through it".

That actually helped me heaps 'cause that had been my approach 'til then and still is today... and it shows.

Just finished listening.

Dude's a friggin' legend.

there is a story in Elton Johns auto bio about how in the mid 70's he briefly played with an american guitarist, who he got rid of after the guy talked about how he likes to fuck chickens. Elton never names names, but Baxter was the only American guitar player he worked with in that era... kinda makes me wonder about that dude.... i mean i wouldn't let a guy with facial hair like that near my chickens

NY sarcasm will always make British sarcasm crumble.

Very talkative guy, and always friendly. Used to see him at the Namm shows.
