JP, someone who plays like you doesn't need to sing! What? You want it all?

Incidentally, there is a local Juneau boy - just turned 13, a shy, quiet kid almost 6 feet tall who has had an acoustic guitar for almost a year now and he's fingerpicking up a storm, things like (ah ha!) 'Don't Think Twice'. So I lent him one of the CDs I got from JP. He is enthralled. I have every expectation of hearing him play 'Buckdancer's Choice' one of these days, and a lot of the other cuts. If he continues as he is, he's going to be remarkably good. His phrasing and his control already are. (And no. He doesn't sing.)

By the way, my own favorites on that CD have shifted somewhat- I love the arrangements in your covers. (Who is *your* Joanne Shaw? Is that Joanne Shaw Taylor?)
