First, "Open Mike", the tour schedule at their site is indeed current. Steve and Cindy had been maintaining the site themselves, but they have turned it over to me although they will continue to provide new content and keep a hand in. You are 100% correct; a schedule on the web should always include the year. I will add it.

Their new duet CD, Being There, is being manufactured and should be available by the first week of March. It is available for pre-order from their web site. The new CD includes the song Hurricane that Jim mentioned. I heard it for the first time the week before last in Glens Falls, NY. It is indeed a keeper.

Finally, I too am intrigued by his guitar style, and have spent some time listening to the CD. I am probably hopeless, but it is definitely a good hour of fingerpicking instruction. And, for those who have said that you have to see Steve play, well I agree with that. Both Cindy and I have already told Steve to think about doing a video of that CD.

Also, for anyone who is working on their guitar playing, Steve will be putting together some additional material to support the instructional CD. The first thing that will be posted is the tablature for Darcy Farrow. You can check for it at:
