> What exactly are we defining as a solo here?
 
The intro in "Voodoo Chile" with Jimi Hendrix, for example. I guess there's a
thousands of definitions on what a solo "is". But what I had in mind was the
Hendrix style.

Absolutely.

No one has expressed any doubt about their musicianship. If I didn't think they
were the best I wouldn't buy all their albums.

I don't think I've insulted them by asking for solos ? la Hendrix, or? It would
be fun to hear what the band has to say. Any reason is good. Still, it would be
fun to know how a Connells solo would sound like... ;)
