The venue was an old tithebarn.
Remember that gig?
You shared the bill with a Russian trio that featured a terrific balalaika player.
Anyway, it’s great to see that you’re still producing great music all these years later.
Cheers, Frank ( from a windy and wet northern England.)

The fiddlers on “No Hurry’ are Laurie Lewis and Paul Elliott. Paul tends to play on the “jazzy” tunes, and Laurie on the more bluegrassy fiddle tunes.

Since I no longer have the CD jacket, I don’t know who the wonderful fiddler (s) is/are and can’t find the band info on your your website. Stuart Duncan?

I didn’t try the Gretsch with a loud band, mostly because, well, I don’t really play with any loud bands, sorry. But you will probably have feedback issues with that guitar, more than you would with more of an electric archtop, because the top on an acoustic archtop is designed to move more than one on an electric archtop, which will increase the chance of feedback.
Scott

I was watching your youtube video of your Gretsch G100CE review. I was wondering if you could tell me if the guitar has any serious feedback issues when playing on stage with a full band at loud volumes.

Thank you so much,
Mikey

I’m listening to your recording of it right now from that album – absolutely gorgeous. The vocal harmonies are outstanding and the guitar work is so tasteful.
Thanks again.

That’s an old Ola Belle Reed song called “Gonna Write Me a Letter.” I recorded it on my album with the Webster sisters. Great song. Glad you liked it.
Scott

You’re playing a really nice tune at the beginning of the Acoustic Guitar video review of the new Martin DRS1. It’s really a lovely tune, and I’ve worked most of it out now, but what the heck is the name of it?
Lovely playing, BTW!
Thanks!
Fred

Thank you for your inspiring music. I picked up No Hurry some years back, and fell in love with it. I was in a blue funk at the time where I couldn’t decide whether to keep trying to play guitar, or just chuck it and take up the tissue and comb, or maybe spoons…I vasilated between inspiration and desperation. A closet musician at best, I decided to keep trying, thanks to your obviously heartfelt approach to music. Strong and True in particular gave me hope. Not so much that I could ever pull it off, but that perhaps that I too could convert those lingering emotions into a melody. I returned to the stairwell where the acoustics are good, took another run at it, and have been at it ever since.
I hope it’s as much for you as it appears to be.
thanks again.
steve
