Thanks Richie,
I miss you guys too. As the only bluegrass musician in southeast asia, I try to
represent the Cantab scene.
Looking forward to getting Andy's album next time I'm in
the States.
Greg

Ave. right outside of "Havahhad" Sq. and listen to fellow lister (but mostly lurker) Gregg Tucker-Kellog, and on occassion Andy Hall, and I'd just have "happy ears" all night long. (We miss you Gregg....really!)

> The album has EIGHT original tunes (and Andy, there's nothing "dusty" about your picks sir!) and Andy plays several different guitars, mostly a mahogany Meredith, but I particularly liked his use of a 1929 National Tri Cone on the traditional tune "Deep Elem Blues." That for me is worth the price of the album by itself. Now I'm listening to Andy play a Bear Creek Hawaiian guitar on a Norman Blake tune(s) called Green Light on the Southern?Bony Crossing the Alps. Wow! Oh yeah this just this second finished and my immidiate thought is "play it again!"
