Pete Standing - I've heard he's a great guy. A few people I know have met him (I guess there's a fellow here in Cincinnati who has been able to convince him to play at little gatherings in his basement) and were impressed by his bearing and charisma, and this is well-supported by the bits and pieces of interviews I've been able to find. By the way, does anyone know what songs he's done in DADEAE? I have a fair collection of his recordings, but I'm positively awful at working out the tunings. The only songs of his I've been able to figure out have been in standard, in the arrangements he made way back when his playing was more conventional (Springhill Mining Disaster, The Trees they do Grow High, Lord Franklin, and The Wind that Shakes the Barley).
