Saw him at a Taylor clinic at a suburban Chicago Sam Ash store. He is an amazing picker, though I find his evangelism rather off-putting (seeing as how I am of a different faith, I resent being preached to when I have come to be entertained or instructed as to technique). His daughter Haley is a fine mandolinist and has a sweet high voice reminiscent of Alison Kraus-meets-Mindy Smith. He gave me one of his thumbpicks (a Michael Kelly Slick-Pick, which is what I use on 12-string).
