  Quite a tactic, and probably emanating from the same PR camp.

      He's possibly gone so far as to complain to the moderator trying to
      get LWR banned for this imaginary crime. As far as I'm concerned,
      LWR is an incredible asset to the rock forum: his taste is impeccable
      and his knowledge is far reaching: I'll try anything he recommends.
      If Duilawyer knew one percent of what LWR knows about music, he could
      make a living from that knowledge. Why does Duilawyer do this?
      I really don't know, but he certainly has no problem making a fool
      out of himself, over and over. If I were moderator, I'd ban him.
      Regards,

      J.R.

        I've checked out several of LWR's recommendations and all have been great. Nothing wrong with recommending good material in your area or from friends.

        I've recommended friends of mine from Tempe, The Elliots, over the years because they are talented and make great music. The only thing I get is the satisfaction of turning people on to great music they might not otherwise hear. I don't know why anyone would object to that.

        Besides, most musicians now have websites with samples of their music. You can check it out and if you don't like it, don't buy.

        You are kind, thank you. After a lifetime of collecting, photographing and being in the music biz in various guises I did learn a thing or two.
        I bring it here in the hope that I can assist others in pursuit of the grail.
        And visa versa as I am still looking myself.

    You know how much is in a kilo of Ben Franklin's? Beware when Rounder

    Peter Rowan will be a household name, his poster on teenage walls.
    I'm in a pearls before swine sort of mood, so here are a few tunes
    you might check out: Old and in the Way, "Land of the Navajo" and
    Peter Rowan, "The Free Mexican Air Force." Next time you are in a

  ...both Rice and Rowan are extraordinary talents. I heard Bryn Davies, the bass player was leaving. They have the ability to be virtuosos, but remaining silky smooth and musical.

  With Tony Rice material, I like the mostly instrumental material. My favorite stuff of his is the stuff done with "The Unit", "Backwaters" being my favorite. Manzanita is also masterful. The collaborations with Norman Blake are quite good also. I know one of TR's Martins is a special collectible that was owned by someone famous, but it escapes me right now.

  I also heard somewhere that TR has/had cancer. Is that true?

    the guitar was owned by Clarence White!! Once of the Byrds and before that with his brother Roland in the Kentucky Colonels.....their landmark album ......Appalachian Swing....is a necessary addition to any fan of world class picking.
    Nice to see these old guitars being played. Neil Young has Hank Williams old axe and plays it often (and well too). You can see it in the DVD Heart of Gold.

        A gift from a nice billionaire. He loves Bluegrass and wishes to spread the joy. I have been to all of them and boy oh boy, I am up to my eyeballs in joy. Let me know if you are coming, I'll buy the pizza . I stay in the city on Saturday night and if I go to the pre-concert party I stay on Friday too. I'll let you know where you can get a room and we can meet up.....
        Mark your calendar, it is the absolute best musical event in America....

          LWR, this sounds like my kind of fun, and what a wondeful city SF is. My fiance and I have been wanting to go to SF, and this event would help fill the week out nicely. She says she likes the idea. It would be fun to meet up should we decide to go and enjoy some live music and festivities. I'll let you know if we decide to go, but you'd have to let me call you something other than LWR, heh heh. Thanks for extending the hospitality :)

      Tony's brother, Larry, passed away last year. Mesothelioma. Tony is certainly looking gaunt these days, but I've not heard any credible reports that he's ill. I sure hope he's not. He's a genius. His solo on Moonlight Midnight makes me want to never touch my guitar again.
