These are the guestbook entries for April - June 2007.

Mr. Rice, saw you and Pete in Albuquerque in '06. I've listened to you all my life and even performed one of your songs. Absolutely mesmerizing! Bought and re-bout all your albums over the years. But as I waited for you to come out to get your autograph on your Manzanita CD (my favorite) you said you were "double parked" and totally blew me off. I was crushed. One of the few musicians I'd ever want an autograph from, as your songs helped me to form my music style over the years. I've signed autographs myself from perfomeances with my band, and to me it was always a pleasure and honor...Maybe I wasn't cute enough! Matt Day Englewood, CO - Saturday, June 23, 2007 at 20:52:46 (EDT) I just saw AKUS in Jackson, MS but missed the shows when Tony was out with them. I HOPE there will be a cd/dvd in the very near future from the AKUS/RICE shows!! I Love your playing, Tony, you are such an inspiration! Also, I can't get enough of Quartet...would love to see that show as well!! Tim Tim Tynes Petal, MS - Friday, June 22, 2007 at 22:11:37 (EDT) I saw Tony at Grandview Pier in March 1989. When playing, "Me and My Guiitar," Tony broke the B string. As a result the song went on for almost 23 minutes while he changed strings. I was absolutely blown away! That concert is one of the best I have ever seen! Now, "Me and My Guitar," is always in my CD player as are so many of his other CDs. All the best, Tony. Scott Clausen Sequim, WA - Thursday, June 21, 2007 at 01:15:05 (EDT) Hey awesome site!

Have a terrific day! teri state college, pa - Friday, June 08, 2007 at 07:54:37 (EDT) Tony, you have been and continue to be such an inspiration. The first time i heard your music was in 1984 at a festival. You weren't there but they were playing Cold On The Shoulder cuts between acts. Blew me away! Had to ask the guy next to me who that was. Well, since that day I have everything you've recorded which is quite a catalog. Thanks for the many years of great recordings, and of courseall the live shows. Looking forward to seeing you with AKUS at Telluride. Craig Fortune Forest Falls, CA - Tuesday, June 05, 2007 at 23:08:32 (EDT) I think you are the greatist flatpicker that ever walked this planet. You have been an influence to me ever since I heard you. I missed your last show at Sellersville due to the bad weather we had that day.Do you think you will be playing at Sellersville again soon because the last time I saw you perform was one of the highlights of many years of attending your shows. William Birmele Ridley Park, PA - Monday, June 04, 2007 at 19:02:16 (EDT) I love Tony's music. Is he married? Does he still sing? Elizabeth Ashland, KY - Saturday, June 02, 2007 at 14:12:24 (EDT) Tony, Thanks for taking time to talk with me back in 1998. You gave me great insight about the tuning techniques of Carl Kress and Lonnie Johnson. We also talked about Nick Lucas and Eddie Lang and I was surprised you knew so much about those guys. I admire your approach to guitar. Robert Robert North Carolina - Friday, June 01, 2007 at 15:50:33 (EDT) Miss you in the Northwest Tony! Any chance you could do the AKUS gig in Redmond, WA this year? Or maybe Wintergrass again sometime? Hope so! Love your stuff! TM Tom M. Seattle, WA - Tuesday, May 29, 2007 at 01:41:33 (EDT) Love that sweet soul sound. mangoman88@gmail.com Mike R Burns - Monday, May 28, 2007 at 05:24:29 (EDT) I saw you in concert with Allison Krauss in Salem a week ago and your style of playing just blew me away. What a great show!!! Mike Frazier Spout Spring, Va - Friday, May 25, 2007 at 12:11:01 (EDT) Any chance some of the Rice/Krauss shows will be put on DVD? I'm sure there would be many buyers. Scott Sullivan Pascagoula, MS - Friday, May 25, 2007 at 10:00:40 (EDT) It is with Deepest Sorrow that we announce the unexpected passing of our dear friend and loved musician, Loye Blackwell. Our Sympathy goes out to his Mother, sisters, and to his love of 17 years Phyillis of Benson. To his many friends that have shared with us, so many great times and special moments, we send our heartfelt regards was well. Loye was a close friend. He was a very special devout member of A.A Threw much of his shared wisdom with me, I have enjoyed six years of sobriety. He will be carried in my heart, my Spirit, and in my music....Tony Rice Tony Rice and Family - Thursday, May 24, 2007 at 08:14:58 (EDT) TR, Impressive work. I am blown away by your picking. Keep up the fantastic work. You have earned a new fan! Chris Chris Cook Mt Pleasant, SC - Wednesday, May 23, 2007 at 11:50:08 (EDT) Short time in Atlanta we were lucky to get tickets to the show May 19. I did not trust my ears, the way you treat the guitar is impossible. Thanks for a formidable performance. Carl from Sweden Carl Almskoug Halmstad, - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 at 18:02:29 (EDT) Great show in Atlanta. I have seen you a few times and what has impressed me the most besides your playing is that you dress very professionally. To me this shows respect to the people that pay to come see you play. I also was at Larry's benefit in Tallahassee and had a chance to visit with him. Another class person. I know you miss him.We do too. Keep up good job Gerald - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 at 07:11:56 (EDT) I saw you in Atlanta at the Fox, WOW, tapes and records do not give what a live performance does. Fantastic. The band playing with you was pretty good also. Ricky Ayer Saint George, SC - Monday, May 21, 2007 at 13:48:46 (EDT) Tony: Enjoyed the evening with you and AKUS so very much a the FOX theater. The photo montage was a great touch. Jeff Odem Ellijay, GA - Monday, May 21, 2007 at 13:08:31 (EDT) Here is the set list for TRAKUS shows (Thanks Drew!) I think its fair to say that noone today could sing these songs more beautifully and with more meaning than Alison Krauss!!! Shadows I’m Walking Sawing on the Strings Early Morning Rain Four Strong Winds Sixteen Miles Down the Road Born to Be with You Summertime Church Street Blues Streets of London This Sad Song Let Me Touch You For a While Ginseng Sullivan Barbara Allen/Manzanita Song for a Winters Night I Think It’s Going To Rain Today Any Old Time Freeborn Man Encore: Summer Wages I’m On My Way Back To the Old Home tonyrice.com Asheville, NC - Monday, May 21, 2007 at 08:51:46 (EDT) Tony - I have been a huge fan of yours for years. A friend from Canada who plays mandolin (and is a friend of Emory Lester), turned me on to your music 10 years ago. I love all your work, but I'm especially fond of your Gordon Lightfoot album. I just returned yesterday from your concert in Washington DC with AKUS & Jerry Douglas, and can't begin to tell you what a treat it was to finally see you play. Everyone thought I was nuts to travel to DC "just for a concert", but it was the thrill of my life. The only thing that could have topped that would have been meeting you in person. You have inspired so many people in your life, and all I can say is, don't ever stop playing! You're the greatest!! Chris Nowak Milwaukee, WI - Monday, May 21, 2007 at 01:27:01 (EDT) Saw you with AKUS in Salem. Great show - hope to hear you again soon! Carl and Cecile VA - Sunday, May 20, 2007 at 20:47:51 (EDT) Tony, Really enjoyed the show last night..Unbeleivable!!! This was the first time I've seen you live and what an awesome experience..We had great seats and the sound was amazing. No complaints I just hope you guys decide to put out a live album from one of the shows. P.S. Thanks for doing Church Street Blues.No words to describe. God Bless. Adam Adam Fairmount, GA - Sunday, May 20, 2007 at 19:33:32 (EDT) Hey Tony, Had great seats to your show with AKUS last night in Atlanta. What a wonderful time! Highlights for me were, Summertime, Freeborn Man, Streets of London, Manzanita, and Church Street Blues. (Thanks for the nice nod to Ga. native, Norman Blake.) My only complaint, if you can call it that, was that you didn't take enough solo breaks during the songs. (Ditch the banjo player and take his breaks...Just kidding Ron!) Hope you and Rowan can make it back to town this year. Take care. Doug PS. Can I have that old, beat-up guitar of yours when you get tired of it?? (Haw! Haw!) Doug Ellis Tyrone, GA - Sunday, May 20, 2007 at 08:25:42 (EDT) I HEARD YOUR NEW CD AND IT'S EXCELLENT. I ALSO HEARD YOU THE OTHER NIGHT ON WOUB OHIO PUBLIC RADIO JAMMIN AT JORMA'S FUR PEACE RANCH. I REALLY LIKED THAT VERSION OF SHADY GROVE YOU ALL WERE DOING. DAVE PANCHOT ASHLAND, KY - Saturday, May 19, 2007 at 22:27:12 (EDT) I'm sitting in my kitchen listening to "TR Plays and Sings Bluegrass" and trying to figure out all the mandolin parts. I started listening to Tony back in the 70s when a bunch of hippies decided we wanted to play bluegrass. (I played bass at the time -- I only picked up the mandolin lately.) We weren't good enough to steal any of his chops, but it sure inspired us to try! Thirty-some years later, I'm a college professor but still enjoy Tony's music (and still a hippie in a lot of ways!). I see he's playing in Colorado later this summer -- might be worth a pilgrimage. Thanks to Tony and all his colleagues for the great music over the years... Rex Gantenbein Laramie, WY - Saturday, May 19, 2007 at 20:09:05 (EDT) I attended the fine concert at the Tennessee Theatre May 15 and was left pretty much lost for words fit for description for the overwhelmiming virtuosity and spontaneous flow I felt in that fine setting; and I was'nt even in the good seats. (No seat is really bad at the Tennessee). I have enjoyed listening throughout a fine and defining era of Bluegrass and dabble at guitar and fiddle myself. (I tried to ask Allison if she gave lessons just before the encore but she did'nt say. Play on Tony, you carry a well-worn torch and set a light for future guitarists to follow the path of a great artist and craftsman. Dan Nance Lenoir City, Tn - Friday, May 18, 2007 at 21:35:29 (EDT) Tony: We had our whole family crowd to see you in DC Wed eve, it was an awesome night all-around for us all. My wife Carla and I had been to see your opening show in Chattanooga, and appreciated that the DC show had a different selection and order to your music. All our kids are fans although a couple have not been with us to see you perform with the "Unit" and do your instrumental/jazzgrass repertoir - they want to know when you might be out playing with the "Unit" again. I thought you might get a chuckle to find out that even though you thought when you did "Church Street Blues" and "Streets of London" they were duets with Dan and Alison, in fact you had a third person singing harmony in the person of our 8 year old who loves those tunes. He sat on my knee belting out the lyrics right there with you. Thankfully none of our audience neighbors seemed to mind his accompanyment (he was relatively in tune)! Thanks again to you and all the Union Station members for making this a very memorable spring for my whole family! Henry Mikus Luray, VA - Friday, May 18, 2007 at 10:40:06 (EDT) Saw you at Merlefest this Spring. You continue to be the major influence in my flatpicking education. I hope all is well with you. There was magic in the air at Merlefest. I watched a falling star race across the sky during your set. You are truly blessed with a gift from God and you touch many people with your music. Just wanted you to know that I am one of many that hope to see you play and again. Keep using your talent to make a difference in the world. Terry Seaborn Panama City Beach, Fl - Thursday, May 17, 2007 at 21:26:49 (EDT) Would love to read comments from anyone who saw either of the Knoxville shows or the show last night in Washington. I'm really looking forward to seeing Tony Sat. night at the Fox in Atlanta. I've lobbied, via this site and the AKUS site, in the past for this tour. I can hardly wait! Peace to all... Doug Ellis Tyrone, GA - Thursday, May 17, 2007 at 19:14:46 (EDT) I hope 45 years of age is not too old to start learning the difficult skill of flat-picking. Mr. Rice is an incredibly gifted guitarest who has showered me with inspiration. Michael Ramsey Daphne, AL - Tuesday, May 15, 2007 at 17:05:15 (EDT) Please be sure Tony sees this. Thanks. Tony, Mwife and I were at your performance last night, May 14, at the Tennessee Theater. It was great. Thaks to you and Alison and Union Station for the wonderful experince. I am from Crystal River. I knew Larry well. I worked with him at Florida Power as well as with Mark Johnson. I lived just down the street from him. Your niece, Pam, was my babysitter for a number of years when she was in her early teens. I just learned of his death this past Decemcer after ordering tickets for this performace. I was and am still saddened by his passing. My condolences to you and his family. The world lost a wonderful person and artist. If you care to correspond, I can be reached at david@marvelousmoose.com. God Bless. David Van Oosterwyk David A. Van Oosterwyk Oak Ridge, TN - Tuesday, May 15, 2007 at 10:57:39 (EDT) A huge AKUS fan, I anxiously anticipated the concert in Cary last Saturday night. I had not thought of the connection to Tony Rice before the tour was advertised. Would the music be as good without the songs I had grown to love from Alison and the guys? The rain damped my enthusiasm as I drove to the event, but as the musicians came on stage and the misty rain stopped, my heart began to sing along with AKUS and Tony's music! What a wonderful two hours! I never moved from my seat except for the standing ovations! The wonderful guitar picking still is in my head. Thank you for coming to NC Tony, for an evening I will never forget. I am now an even bigger Tony Rice and AKUS fan than ever before! Debra Stowe Debra Stowe Eden, NC - Monday, May 14, 2007 at 16:55:00 (EDT) I took my nine year old son to see you last night at the Koka Booth Amphitheater. He was suitably transfixed and said that he hoped the concert would never end. Thanks so much for all your wonderful music. You're a gem. Doug MacKenzie Cary, NC - Sunday, May 13, 2007 at 16:15:38 (EDT) We had not heard about the shooting star. Thank you so very much Mr. Bryant for sharing that with us. Pamela - Saturday, May 12, 2007 at 00:40:29 (EDT) Saw you at the Barlett with Peter Rowan. Great show. I have a couple of your training books and really enjoy all your recordings. Cliff Butler Olive Branch, MS - Thursday, May 10, 2007 at 08:14:30 (EDT) Tony, My wife and I REALLY enjoyed seeing you with Allison Krauss and Union Station at Merle Fest. I don't know if anyone has told you this: While you and Jerry were doing the instrumental duet that morphed into "Summertime", a shooting star flew across the sky just above the tree line behind the Waston Stage....I have never seen a shotting star so low and so brilliant. What a magical moment in time. Thanks for the inspiration. Thank You for the Music. Thomas Bryant Waxhaw, NC - Wednesday, May 09, 2007 at 14:02:43 (EDT) TONY, I have just heard the most unbeleivable album ever! JD and the New South live in Japan Aug 30th 1975. That was the most awesome Freeborn version ever, among all the other awesome songs on that album. I am looking forward to the Atlanta show on the 19th w/ A. Krauss and Union Station, from what I have read and heard it will probably be the best show I've ever seen. You are an inspiration! God Bless! ADAM FAIRMOUNT, GA - Wednesday, May 09, 2007 at 12:12:02 (EDT) Tony...you need to get together with this guy and write some some tunes.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIlzoSv2DXM&mode=related&search= Mike Tampa, Fl - Tuesday, May 08, 2007 at 22:06:18 (EDT) Thanks, Tony, for being in Bartlett, Tennessee Saturday night, 5/5/07. From the front row I soaked up the Quartet's stunning displays of musicianship like dry ground drinks in the rain. I always like your innovative stuff, but I like the traditionals too. Your's & Sharon's "Salt Creek" was just a knockout. It was one of my most memorable concerts, along with the time you came out as a surprise one night in the mid-80s at the Birchmere, and played with the Seldom Scene for most of the night. Paul C Memphis, TN - Monday, May 07, 2007 at 11:04:04 (EDT) Just wanted to thank you and Peter Rowan and your quartet for your performance at The Belcourt Theater in Nashville last Friday night. Incredible musicians - please come back soon! Richard L Nashville, TN - Sunday, May 06, 2007 at 20:23:20 (EDT) Well now!!...caught the set at Merelfest with AKU last Saturday night and whoa what a performance. It was a fine moment seeing and hearing Tony honored by his peers. I hope anyone interested in seeing this lineup will do themselves the favor, because the man continues to be an inspiration to us all. James K NMB, SC - Wednesday, May 02, 2007 at 20:12:54 (EDT) I really can't thank you enough for your INCREDIBLE performance with AKUS on Saturday night at Merlefest. It was one amazing set, and you in particular were truly awesome. God bless you and thanks SO much!

DAVE WVA. RICHWOOD, WVA - Monday, April 30, 2007 at 03:50:36 (EDT) HI TONY, IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE BEST MUSIC IN THE WHOLE WORLD. FOR MANY YEARS, I TRIED TO KEEP UP WITH YA AND ATTENDED EVERY LOCAL SHOW WHEN YOU WERE IN TOWN. HOWEVER, SINCE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER AND A MASSIVE HEARTATTACK SUFFERED BY MY HUSBAND I HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE INVOLVED WITH MUSIC FOR AWHILE. I HAD TO SELL ALL OF MY MUSICIAL INSTRUMENTS JUST TO SURVIVE AND PROVIDE FOR MY KIDS. I MUST TELL YOU OF ALL THE INSTRUMENTS I HAD TO SELL THE ONE MOST THAT HURT THE MOST (I WAS CRYING AS I WAS SELLING) WAS MY TONY RICE GUITAR. IT WAS BOUGHT FOR MY BY MY FATHER BEFORE HE DIED AND WAS THE BEST GUITAR I HAVE EVER OWNED.I WAS VERY PROUD AND STILL PROUD TO HAVE OWNED ONE!!! BUT IN MY HEART I KNEW I WAS DOING THE RIGHT THING AND WHAT I HAD TO DO. I HAVE LEARNED THEY WERE JUST MATERIAL THINGS AND ONE DAY COULD BE REPLACED. I LOOK FORWARD TO VISITING THE FOX IN MAY TO SEE YA IN CONCERT. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME IN FOUR YEARS THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO ATTEND THE MUSIC REALM AGAIN!! I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YA. YOU ARE ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED MUSICIANS I HAVE EVERY KNOWN AND APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO. THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO ME AND MY FAMILY. DONNA HOWELL DONNA HOWELL COVINGTON, GA - Sunday, April 29, 2007 at 15:52:57 (EDT) Just wanted to say hello! I enjoy your music, my grandfather actually brought me and my sister to meet you at one of your awesome bluegrass concerts when I was about 10 years old (I'm 27 now)- he's always wanted us to be well rounded in our musical choices - anyway just wanted to say thanks - and now that I have a daughter of my own I'm helping to pass on the love of music! Lorraine springfield, LA - Saturday, April 28, 2007 at 15:47:13 (EDT) Please come to Canada. Mito Toronto, ON - Saturday, April 28, 2007 at 13:27:45 (EDT) I have been a fan for 30 years,and I have been working very hard,learning Tony's style.What a chalenge! Tony is the best guitar I have ever herd. Dan Griffin Beacon, NY - Saturday, April 28, 2007 at 01:20:38 (EDT) The Chattanooga concert was a great music experience, the range of songs just drove home the depth and breadth of Tony's virtuosity. My wife and I just sat there enthralled through it all in wonder. I have to point out our appreciation for a subtle bit of humor: we have heard Tony call "Manzanita" the song banjo players love to hate, so hearing it performed including the nice banjo solo by Ron Block made us chuckle. We are really looking forward to seeing the show again in DC (yup, much closer to home!) but this time we will have our whole brood, young to old, along. We have raised a whole new generation of Tony Rice fans who listen to it all, from spacegrass to ballads to pure bluegrass. Thanks so much, tony, for sharing your music and making it a family favorite! Henry Henry Mikus Luray, VA - Wednesday, April 25, 2007 at 21:58:45 (EDT) Tony, yesterday was Larrys birthday and I wish he could have been here to see and hear you play with Alison Krauss .. I know how proud of you he would have been... and how much he loved you Linda Rice Crystal River, Fl - Wednesday, April 25, 2007 at 20:53:54 (EDT) It was great to see you with Allison Kraus and Union Station last night at the Louisville Palace Theater. I first discov ered you while a younster stationed in San Francisco (1970)and following the NGDB around the region. Been a fan ever since. Still amazed at your nimble fingers and the fluid instramental. Keep on pickin'. Jack Giralico Louisville, KY - Monday, April 23, 2007 at 17:28:43 (EDT) Saturday nights show in Chat. was one of the best I've seen ! Summertime with Jerry was GREAT ! The entire evening was fantastic ! PLEASE put out a CD and DVD ! Tim Eldridge Algood, TN - Monday, April 23, 2007 at 14:41:26 (EDT) I thought I would add to my last post by mentioning that Ronnie Bowman was in the crowd last night he was on the floor about 10 rows back. That was also very cool. I think my two favorite songs were Dan singing Church Street and Alsion singing Streets of London. but of course Freeborn Man and Manzanita was great too!!! Thanks again for a great night and please put out a cd or dvd from this tour FWS Farrell Sprayberry Ringgold, Ga - Sunday, April 22, 2007 at 16:55:40 (EDT) Saw the show in Chattanooga last night w/ Alison and band. It was AWESOME ! I can only Pray that there will be a dvd or live cd come from this incredible tour of music. This show must live on. Thanks Tony for 35 years of Great tunes... Farrell Farrell Ringgold, Ga - Sunday, April 22, 2007 at 16:48:31 (EDT) The Chat. Show was awesome. Some of the highlights were Tony ad Jerry doing Summertime. Tony started it out on stage by himself with a long improvised solo and then Jerry stepped out and did his thing and then they just melted together. The crowd loved it. They did manzannita,ginsing sullivan,down the road, church street blues, streets of london, song for a winter nigh,and several more but I need to finish waking up to remember. One highlight that needs mentioning was freeborn man. We carried a rock guitarist with us that had never heard TonY before. When Tony took a break HE SMOKED IT!!!!!!!!!! The guy with us turned around with his jaw dropped. It was priceless! Best review I can give right this second.Roy Roy Yeager Flintville, TN - Sunday, April 22, 2007 at 10:53:33 (EDT) LETS HEAR A REVIEW OF THAT CHAT. TN SHOW? MATT VALLE CRUCES, NC - Sunday, April 22, 2007 at 10:30:12 (EDT) We just got home from the Chattanooga concert. I was blown away.So was everyone else! I have wanted to see Tony live since the 70s when I started listening to his music. My guitar teacher Glen Tolbert turned me on to Tony's music and my second teacher Steve Kaufman fanned the flame. Great job Tony. Roy Yeager Roy Yeager Flintville, TN - Sunday, April 22, 2007 at 02:46:43 (EDT) Hi Tony, I am a HUGE long time fan, I LOVE your music, (I know Tony is an animal lover and thought he may appreciate this story)I got a black lab puppy this past Christmas and everyone (including my wife)laughs and thinks im crazy for the name I gave her....but I smile and know that her name is a tribute to the greatest guitar player ever, her name is Manzanita (manzie for short) Tony, you Rock! DC - Saturday, April 21, 2007 at 22:41:07 (EDT) I realize this forum is for comments from fans. Where does Tony go to reply to a question or respond to a comment? P.S. Won't be talking to LB. Phillis Soward Benson, NC - Friday, April 20, 2007 at 17:41:11 (EDT) Tony's the greatest. I hope the Tony Biography that is supposed to be being put together really does come to be. It would be the most anticipated and most looked forward to work I could ever hope for. MATT MI - Friday, April 20, 2007 at 13:47:29 (EDT) what do you mean Phylis of Benson? Ask a Question and see. Oh! before I forget, when you talk to Loy again, tell him HAHLO The Ghost Everywhere, - Thursday, April 19, 2007 at 02:12:34 (EDT) Tony. I wonder if you actually read your fan mail? I haven't found any replys from you on your website...am I looking in the wrong places? Phillis, Benson, NC Phillis Soward Benson, NC - Wednesday, April 18, 2007 at 01:03:29 (EDT) 1:15am,April 17th,2007 Hello Mr. Rice: I 'm a bluegrass lover and YOU 'RE the BEST ! Since I 'm Canadian, I really appreciated your album of Gordon Lightfoot songs. Well done ! Bravo ! I can 't get music stores here to order your 'Out of the Woodwork' CD. I believe your best 'single' is embedded in that album ... "Somewhere on the Road Tonight". In fact I 'm playing it on repeat , as I type ! I can 't get enough of it ! ! 'Church Street Blues' has always been another favourite of mine, eh ! I also have this song of yours on a Bluegrass Pickin' Instruction video. (Norman Blake, Happy Traum, Nick Forster, Russ Barenburg, Steve Kaufman, Dan Crary, and, naturally, YOU are in it.) It 's entitled 'GREAT GUITAR LESSONS (Bluegrass Flatpicking). The year on it is 1995. I 'm a 60 yr. old male and I 've loved bluegrass ever since I first heard it ... that was 35 years ago. I enjoy playing guitar, drums and singing. I used to go to a lot of festivals in Ohio ... mostly Greenwich (they always invited Ralph Stanley). Unfortunately, for Ralph, I always enjoyed the "jamming" in the park better ... 'til about 4:00am ! Well, sir, the time now is about 2:00am and I start work at 6:00am building trucks on the production line. So, I have to say, "Goodnight" or, good morning ! Please stay happy, healthy and safe. God Bless You in your future endeavours.

The live concert sound was mixed by Peter Rizzo of N.Y.C. The strings tended to be a bit bright, but the over all sound and live mix were quite excellent.
