The Steve Howe Files

I created this page as a grab-bag of resources on Steve Howe. Hope some of it proves useful!

Very absorbing article about Steve and his family here. Gives more than the one-dimensional view of "Steve Howe, drug addict" that conventional news stories push about him. He had a family that loved him. Thanks to Evan Bladh at Opinions of Kingman's Performance blog for the tip....
