Eleven years later! I finally got to hear Thom Bresh- just got home.

He did a fine show, and I bought two CDs of his. He even did his own selling and had time to chat with everybody. Very personable guy.

Very talented too. Good voice, and his thumb picking was fantastic. I bought the one CD for that reason. Only one vocal song on there (Guitar Boy, written about his Dad) and the rest are instrumental. I'm looking forward to hearing them.

John Anderson was the headliner for the show- I'd have put it the other way 'round, but maybe that's just me.

Bresh's set was loud -I loved his 'choked' bass - but not hurtful.

When Anderson's turn came after the intermission, they had cranked up the sound so much that I really couldn't hear the words. I left before the end of his set. I'm sure he was fine but his voice and guitar were not exceptional; if he'd been in my living room I would have stayed but this way I got a little bored, plus as I said, it was too loud.

He has a habit of cutting off his voice in the middle of a word; he reminded me some of Merle Haggard so it was fine but not enough to keep me there.

But I'm glad I got to hear Thom Bresh.
