My goodness, you found me out!
Thanks for mentioning the show, Kat. This was a rare
all-bluegrass show by Greg, we were all pretty stoked to be doing it with
him.
Just wanted to expand clarify a couple of the names:
the bassist was BOB JONES, also a fabulous guitar picker,
AND the guy everyone 'round here goes to for instrument repair. He's got a
shop in Brooklyn does fine, fine work.
The female lead harmony vocalist featured on several
songs in both sets was the lovely talented Mary Olive SMITH, a weekly
regular at the Alphabet City Opry, my new Opry duet partner now that the
equally lovely talented Elena Skye is on the road so much these days
(*snif!*).
We were fortunate enough to convince Mr. Garing to pull out
the fiddle, and boy can he set fire to that baby. That's when ol' Bob came
over on guitar...and I got to quickly learn how to play stand up bass in front
of a packed house...boy, talk about learn-while-you-earn...(you woulda been
proud of me, Jon! Next time we run into each other I hope you'll show me
that double-slap thing?).
To say nothing of trying to fit those tight National
fingerpicks back on my blistered fingers after doing Katy Hill at
Warp 9...yipe!
