"Yay Derek! Smooth, lively, and chock full of feeling. If you had a goal with this project, I would say you've exceeded it handily. Will come back and listen simply because it's that enjoyable:)"

Gold Rush v2

"Hey Derek...Thumbs up! Playing at a speed you're comfortable with is a better strategy than struggling beyond your efficiency to produce pleasant music. Speed will increase naturally as you spend more time behind the wood.…"

Louis Ruoti replied to Todd McFarland's discussion What brand do you play?
"I own a Blueridge 160. I have owned a half dozen Martins, a Guild, and a Larrivee in my 45 years of playing. I have also played top level Collings guitars extensively (fantastic but very expensive). Dollar for dollar Blueridge offers the best value…"

Hi Louis.  I'd love to pick!  I'm not sure if I'll be at Darrington this year.  Our band didn't get booked because we're not Trad enough! However, if we don't have anything else booked, I would love to go!

I've gone vegan and may look at gluten free as well. My daughter has gone that route - it seems to becoming acknowledged as a good health threat. Looking forward to picking with you sometime in 2012!

Louis,

Good to hear from you, hope you're well.

Hoping to get down to the ANZA this winter.

Maybe see you there or at Wintergrass.

Best of the holiday season to you.

Perry
