Kerry,
Hey there.Thanks soooo much for your good words on my playing style(also read your comments on the collings forum).What to say,i'm flattered!
Anyway,back to our favorite subject,guitars and music.
Slavic Hanzlik:in fact i wasn't aware of him and just 2 months ago a friend gave me a copy of his cd "Spring time.."and i'm still with my mouth opened! Jaw-dropping playing guitar,fast and furious but also musical and lyrical at the same time.
Would lke to meet him in person, i live in Greece,he's Czech i think.
We may have similarities,but i've started out all alone this kind of music and was alone for many years.
Still no bluegrass music here in Greece.
Keep up what you're doing there.
Keep in touch,

Best,
Yiannis

thanks, Kerry... i'm looking forward to meeting and chatting back and forth with people into the music. Have you ever had a Blueridge guitar? I'm thinking of buying one... the BR-160 or BR-140.

Kerry-Thank you for the welcome! So glad to find such a nice group of folks. Looking forward to learning all they are willing to share. Thanks Again-Lissa

Kerry... sounds like you have way more experience than me as far as different types of guitars. The D2H you have is a rosewood guitar and now you're going for a mahogany... do you prefer one over the other? I'm struggling between picking the rosewood or mahogany for my next axe. Thanks, Dave

well, I'm not quite as fortunate with having a pocket full of cash, so I've pretty much decided to go with a Blueridge BR-160A or BR-140A. The 160 is rosewood and the 140 is mahogany. Price difference is $80. Both have Adirondack spruce tops which reviews say make a noticeable difference. I'm just having a hard time deciding which way to go. I think in the end, I'll be happy with either one. I have a '77 Tak F-340, which is mahogany. I just want to get something that's gonna come through when playing with others. I love the look of both woods... I don't wanna get one and wish I had gotten the other.

Thanks for the friends invite. It is nice to be friends with someone who lives in one of the most beautiful parts of North America! I have not been up your way for about 10 years but I will never forget how beautiful the area was.

Kerry-Hi hope you are having a good day .The sitting comment you asked about... the profile picture may explain I have been sentenced to a wheel chair. But I do get the good parking spots now ! Please write again soon would you share any tips you may have for study or practice. Thanks-Lissa

Kerry - thanks for the friendship and the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the music. Best Regards,

Ray

Hi Kerry,
My JP Aleman is an hand made guitar by french luthier. This guitar was made for me because I'm a great fan of the Clarence White D28 now owned by Tony Rice. This guitar has a great woody sound, his look like the original, I play sometimes on stage with this one and also with my great 1954 Martin D18. If you want more information from JP Aleman i can talk about him more and more...
