Subject: RE: Larry Hanks Heading East . ... Finally !
Martha ... Thank you muchly for starting this thread. And the videos are a delight to see. I probably first met and heard Larry back in the mid 70's. Beyond his superb playing and performering, he's always impressed me by the company he keeps and the value that other musicians place on him. He is HIGHLY REGARDED.

For those who are not yet familiar with him ... you are in for a treat.

Another thing I'm impressed with is his energy. I'm 173 now, and I have to do some traveling road shows over the next three months. Just the thought of being on the road (again) is daunting. I think we're of similiar vintage, and now he's taking himself ("hisself" as Walt Robertson used to say) clear to the East coast! SHEEUH ... by now I would have figured that he'd learned better! bob(deckman)nelson
