EDIT: This is the story according to Phil. (Reprinted from True Tunes News, Volume Five, Issue Seven, page 43. Reprinted with permission of John J. Thompson, editorial director.)

TTN: There has been a story floating around forever. I has to do with Hendrix and/or Clapton saying that you're the best guitarist in the world.

PK: Well, to me it seems like an unverified rumor. Maybe someone said something and it went down the line and turned into something outlandish. After 22 years of hearing this thing you would think by now that someone would say "Hey listen to this tape or this video that proves it." Nobody has ever produced anything that gives it authenticity. I couldn't imagine that Hendrix or Clapton would have known me. I do know the Edge has heard about me and was once quoted as saying "I don't understand why he won't be more dangerous with his music." Maybe this album [Crimson and Blue] will prove to be. I met Paul McCartney at a wedding, and he said "You did a very nice job in the wedding, you have a very nice voice." He gave me a couple compliments and some advice. It was great to sit down and have about twenty minutes with one of my heroes and play guitar and sing together. The big mega-stars don't happen really, I just don't rub shoulders with them, although I have recently made friends with Greg Martin from the Kentucky Headhunters. He is going to be interviewing me for a magazine article soon. But I don't know too many big timers. As far as the rumor, unless anyone can sit and show me proof I will not believe it. I do know that in the days the Glass Harp was getting underway we were very high spirited. There were some things done in those days that I listen to today and think it was pretty good.
