He was an extraordinarily gifted musician. He could play a funny dude too, when he need that club. It's only a few in a generation come along like that.

What am I listening to?  You don't want to know!

So I, of course, am going to tell you: Tonight we went to see Her nephew in Mama Mia.

Yes, that's (1) a high school production of (2) a musical (3) rom-com (4) based on ABBA songs.

Slowly, but surely, the music is coming back... I sat down with my old Martin D-18 last night and played through this album I'd all but forgotten about. Then I reached for a bass. Tim Stafford is one of my favorite guitar players to play bass with... his rhythm patterns are downright sneaky! Here's two of my favorite cuts from his solo effort from a few years ago.

You poor thing; nothing that some more discerning listening sessions can't cure 

I forgot to mention, Tim Stafford, the guitarist I linked tunes to this morning, also co-wrote Tony Rice's autobiography "Still Inside - The Tony Rice Story".

It's a pretty good read, but it's a little like inside baseball talk, as bluegrass is a fairly shallow pond. (meaning, if you played the music, you know half the people in the book!)

Got home late, but managed to throw the cans on long enough for and to clean my ears out before bed.
