Don't Just Go.

Go Early.

Sit close to the front and you can darn near feel the magic coming out of this guy. I saw him from the 7th row right after his 75th birthday and he had "slowed down" about as much as Stephane Grapelli had at age 75 (i.e. not at all). He was spellbinding. Now at 82, even if he's lost 50% of his chops, he's still going to be better than 99% of the rest of the world's fok/country/bluegrass pickers.
