Hello All,Hello Mr. Plankity,I didn't know you even had a computer..There seem to be alot of us from Connecticut.If anyone finds themselves on the border between Litchfield and Washington on RT.202 and notice a pottery shop off on the side of the hill stop in. I'm a potter who played in rock bands in the early and mid 60's and then went to Jugtown Pottery in NC in 1969 {we were landing on the moon} and found CLarence Tom Ashley and freinds via records left buy Raulf Rindsler. Then on to the south of Wales to work in more potteries {I bought my first Banjo at Portabello Rd. after a motorcycle crash} Boy can they sing in Wales! I got to play in a rock band for alittle in Copehagen and then came back to my first spring at my shop and first visit to Union Grove Fiddlers con.{1971} It's been Old timy, Blues, Square dances ....Martin Carthy ...June tabor..Ry Cooder... Young Tradition.. Watersons.. Robert Johnson ... I got the addiction for studio fun working with my old freind Lui Collins in 1978 when we made the record "Made In New England" I love working in recording studios. Last year I did a "vanity Pressing" or Indipendent Prodject,of all the stuff I've a;lways played.This year I'm going to do one entirly blues.My 7 year old daughter is battleing a brain tumor and I found playing old Robert Johnson in the parents lounge at Yale Hospitol the best saport in the whole world! I love Newcastle {I worked a pottery in Penrith Combria} I also loved my time in the valleys outside Cardiff in Wales. Bridgend had a great sing-song every wednesday in the upstairs of a pub. Is mr. Henry Crabb still making concertinas? Islington has gotten posh somone told me! Sorry for the rambles but everyone seems so nice here ..Oh I'm 48 have two older boys who don't come to see me much {Devorce ah well} and then my 7 year old daughter and 2 year old son !Life has been very good to me .Regards to all
