Groucho: Thanks!!! I have been listening to Baka Beyond, and Jolly Mukheriee today, but I'll check those guys out in a day or two.

TexasToest: Good stuff! I've saved them to my play list. Let me know what you think of Crary. It's sweet flatpickin old style! He's been around since he was a kid!

Groucho: Who, Crary and Hedges? I'll go do that now, so they'll be cued up for tomorrow.

TexasToest: Michael Hedges,, the one Groucho mentioned

gogul: I have just become aware of Baka Beyond. A friend in the UK used to drive for them. I was listening to their stuff, and craving more, when I clicked on Jolly Mukheriee, a related artist. It is kinda new age, BUT, it has a lot of sitar and tabla in it, and I love those instruments.

Groucho: I played Crary's play list last night. He's incredible. I look forward to listening to Hedges tonight. Thanks for tipping me off about these guys.

tehualL Thank YOU for the Hendrix stuff. I went on a trip in a time machine on those.

TexasToest: My pleasure. He's sponsored by Taylor guitars and not to long ago he put on a show at our local music store featuring the Taylor guitar. I couldn't believe the talent. He makes it look easy too!

Groucho: His fingers never leave his hands.

TexasToest: When I try to play like that I seem to be all thumbs :)

Groucho: I don't even attempt it. I always used my guitars to accompany my voice, which was my true instrument in that genre. Piano was the instrument with which I had a true mastery.

TexasToest: I'd love to hear you play. I love the piano. I'm just a hacker on that. As for guitar, I'm not a master of that either but I keep learning :)

Groucho: I´ve checked it out and I like it very much. I´ll go listen to some of his recordings. Hedges is amazing.

Groucho: can anyone define a flatpicker? its a new word to me. tx

gogul: A flatpicker is someone who plays the guitar with a "flatpick" and picks single notes, usually very fast as in bluegrass. :)
