I attended a songwriters' critique session here in southeastern Pennsylvania USA last week, and one of the songwriters told me that my writing style reminds him of Grant Baynham's. To my everlasting shame, I'd never heard of Grant Baynham, so of course I came to Mudcat to learn! Now I see that I had been paid a great compliment, as Mr. Baynham is by all indications a great lyricist and humorist.

After reading some of his lyrics posted here, I must say that I do share his fondness for wordplay! However, no one will ever write accolades about my guitar-play the way the do about Mr. Baynham's!!

I checked the gig schedule on his website (www.grantbaynham.com) and I see that he was in Canada earlier this month, but can anyone tell me if he ever plays gigs in the US? I must see and hear this man at work. Please tell me I don't have to wait for his next trip to Canada, or take a trip across the Pond myself, to do it!
