I rather liked Brian Webb's clips too. But I guess I'm among the few who like to hear about traveling troubadours who don't participate in the mainstream. My friend has started a concert series here in San Diego where he brings in a lot of these traveling performers who are every bit as entertaining as the Gordon Lightfoots of the world - notice I didn't say they were as good as far as songwriting and such, just that they are entertaining and some of their songs are very good. With Gord out of the performance arena for now, we have to get our entertainment where we can. We've had Jack Williams and Darryl Purpose so far and they are magnificient. Upcoming is Geoff Muldaur, Chuck Pyle, and Mark Erelli. All very different styles of acoustic singer-songwriters, ranging from folk/blues to folk/rock, but all very good and very captivating. Players, especially, would like some of these guys' picking styles and playing, but even the layman, such as my self, who just enjoys good acoustic music, in the intimate setting of smaller venues, will probably like them as well.

Speaking of traveling troubadours, Matthew, I've not forgotten about your Mary Gauchier CDs. They'll be coming soon

And no - I won't be following this up with any posts from ficticious supporters. A lot of the folks who participate in this discussion board have heard me talk about some of these performers in one cyberspace water cooler or another or even in direct email with those I communicate with offlist. Nor is it some spam attempt to get folks to attend our concerts since I don't know of anyone else on this board who lives in the San Diego area. Just passing on some music names that might be worth checking out. You may like some of them, you may like none of them and that's ok, but you'll never know unless you broaden your horizens.
