Chris Downing left a comment for Robert Shafer
"Thanks Robert, that would be great. If you send in any form you have I'll work out a way to look at it. If you send as a Midi file I can open in Sibelius and adjust the timing. I know the song pretty well as it was given to me in the 50's…"

Robert, welcome! Love your playing. Btw, back in the mid 80's, you cleaned my clock at Winfield.:-) Good to see you here...

Thanks Robert. Yeah, the McGraw gig pays the bills and has been a great thing. I am out right now with my old buddy Frank Ray and his bluegrass group Cedar Hill. Serious traditional grass.:-) Good to be giving the '46 'bone' a workout. Frank is a vintage guitar guy and has a bunch of old D 18s and bones, btw. Take care and I hope to cross paths sometime and pick.

Hey Robert
Hope we can meet up sometime this year. Holler at me about you and that hotshot mando player coming to the Palace. I am touring Slovenia for the rest of the week so give me a chance to get back to business.

Hello Robert,

Robert,
I've been listening to your "Pickin Up Steam", and "Watch Your Step" cds that I just received and I already had your "Back Home" with Steve as well as your "Swingin" cds. Love them all and I consider them a must have for any serious flatpicker's musical library. Keep up the great work! You are so clean and clear!

Hey Robert,
You're fantastic! I put one of your CDs on when I was trying to clean up the house today. Well, the house is still a mess! I just had to sit down and listen to every note! Your work is beautiful!!

Take Care,
Marcy

Any Carbon Acoustic Guitar enthusiast here?

My first Carbon was an Adamas.I currently play a Rainsong Dred.I discovered carbon Guitars 2 years ago in a local Guitar store and purchased one within a month.  I played my first RainSong Dred about a year later and bought that one.I watched Scott Nygards reviews on you tube and that kinda got me searching.Anyone else play the fakes?See More

Stephen Switzer replied to Daniel J Thomack's discussion picks
"I have settled on the BlueChip CT55. The BlueChip picks play very smooth and fast, with little pick noise. By the way, I use their thumb picks as well- best I've ever used."
