LOL! I particularly liked the bit about "guitar giants such as Jose Feliciano and Paco de Lucia." I'm sure Paco would be pleased to be included in the honours. LOL! Look, I'm not a guitar snob folks, really. I have a couple of Jose F's albums myself and they're great. I was only getting at the reviewer's comments. (And by the way Mike old chum, I was only jokin' with ya!) I'm sure I'll enjoy Rod & Gab's stuff. After all it is guitar, and it's a bloody hard instrument to play regardless of style. By the way, if Jim Opfer is reading this, they are on in Glasgow the next day (16th). Kate, the venue is called "The Lemon Tree" www.lemontree.org It's an Art's Council funded thing and they get a lot of good acts there, Bert Janch, Peter Green, Antonio Forcione, Billy Bragg, Courtney Pine etc. In the last couple of years they have been focussing in on mainly Scottish acts, I'm sure due to local political and funding pressure. It was better in the old days. Still, it's worth a try. On "World Music" reviewers, I think our own "Professor" Stanley Unwin could have carved himself out a career there with things like.... "It is a sight indeed, to observe this accomplished flamenco guitarist falollop across the fingery, with fearsome dextrose and nimble in a rapid and virtuful mannerly, making sweet muse and bringing much joy to an entranced publo, oh yes." cheers Ron
