Interesting. You do understand, Dick Greenhaus, that this statement was a direct quotation from Stu's letter? I myself did not say it... I guess I did think it could be true, as I've not heard other banjo players say much about Rufus Crisp; I'm not a banjo player- guess that's why! If you're asking for an apology, I do hereby gladly and humbly give one. I'm a sort of naive person, and my object in beginning the thread is just to make people aware of the project, of what some folks are trying to do,and to pass on Stu's invitation to any who're interested, to participate. All the best, Jean
