I knew that mudcats would know him!

We certainly do, GUEST, John P. As well as being a wonderful songwriter, delightful performer and all-round nice guy, he's a regular Mudcatter - see George's posting history here. (By the way you spell his surname Papavgeris.)

He came out here to Oz earlier this year to perform at the National Folk Festival, and he also performed with Cloudstreet at my folk club. Go and see him - you'll be a convert too!
