Art. Because of this thread I got into a discussion with one of the Catters about a long-time mutual friend who burst on the scene at a young age as one of the really fine acoustic pickers. Sadly most of our lengthy discussion focused on just how dependant he has become on alcohol and how badly his music and life skills have eroded. It would have been more fun to talk about what we'd learned from him so many years ago, but the reality of the last thirty years seemed to overshadow that of the first three or four. Bummer.

Went and dug out some John Fahey albums last week for a listen. Good stuff.
