Okay, here I am in Amarillo, Texas, where you can always find a band doing the latest out of Nashville. If someone comes through doing ANYTHING else, I'll probably go listen, given half a chance. So when Red McWilliams, out of Fort Worth, organized a tour with a Welshman he'd met in Japan, I was all for it. I thought, knowing Red, it would mostly be Scottish stuff, but Tich Gwilym did an absolutely wonderful Blues set in the middle of the night, playing a strange instrument he'd found in South America -- looked like an eight-string ukelele, but it had a rich, full sound. And he ate that thing up! It was great.

Ain't a Welshman got a right to sing the Blues?
