Well thank you, Fred. I've been at it for a very long time, since 1963, I think. I grew up in a house where there was always music. My mother's siblings and parents, and their friends used to gather at Mom and Dad's just about every weekend and jam all night. I was exposed to it from the day I was born, and my uncles started teaching me to play at age 7 or 8. I don't really remember that much about learning to play. It just seems like I've always done it.

I think Paul Simon influenced my playing style more than anyone did. Actually, even though my versions of Gord's songs sound a lot like Gord's, my picking style is completely different. He's a thumb and two finger picker, and I'm a thumb and three finger picker. I do a lot of multi-string pinching in my style. Probably, if I'd have had lessons, I would play like Gord, but I taught myself. I couldn't always distinguish between the lead player and the rhythm picker, so I ended up with a style that combines the two elements. I think the best example of that is Croce's These Dreams on my website. I ended up playing half Jim and half Maury. The intro to Song For a Winter's Night is like that, too. I'm playing something that sounds similar to what Terry plays, but in reality, is completely different. But it works for me, so that's good enough!
I'm itching to get my hands on a new UltraSound amp that is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I've already warned the neighbors... http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

The last concert of Gordie's that I went to was back in 1990 or '91 I think when he was at the Rebecca Cohn in Halifax - so I'm due! Despite all of his troubles over the years, he still manages to come out with great new vintage songs. I 'll be buying his "Harmony" when it comes out. Don't know what an ultrasound amp is, but I know it must be powerful and I know the excitement in you is already building! I'll let you know when and where I get the "Live In Reno"! thanks Cathy
