hi!
just got this mail from Amy Becker:

"Hi Ralph.
Jason is alive and kicking! I forwarded your message to his mom and she or I
will let you know about the interview.
Take care,
-Amy Becker"

so I hope everything's alright and this message on the guitar.com board was just damn bullshit!
a message to the guy called "Lightspeedpicker" who started the rumor:
(http://guitar.com/discuss/readmsg.asp?showdates=&messageID=243235)
burn in hell!

please go to www.jasonbecker.com to get more info about this wonderful guitar player and person.
