Will, I don't yet perform in public, so you got that right. I will be sending away this week for a new fingerboard, to get my guitar to where I can play it. I like a fingerboard which is flat, wide, and scalloped.

I am amused that you have used the phrase "the roar of the greasepaint, and the smell of the crowd", because I myself have used that phrase more than once.

It sounds to me like you are not playing folk, but that you are playing jazz. Do you consider yourself to be a jazz playwer?
