re: A Couple of Days With Alex Snodgrass

He used to go into places, and ask for the worst looking, running, BS they could drag in, and he would do his normal set up, and then do his show with it. He said it was to keep people from thinking it was that "perfect" saw he was using. The biggest cheerleaders were the owners of the junk saws. 

He and Michael Fortune are 2 people who if you can get close to will improve your BS game on the spot, both are proponents of, there is no drift. Alex is a lot more colorful than Fortune, and I imagine spending a few days with him would be a treat.
