For those of you have never been blessed by the opportunity to witness Mr. Don Firth perform in person, let me elaborate. Don has an aura! He is very striking in appearance. A very dramatic face, complete with highly arched eyebrows, which he uses with great skill. I suppose that it is his demeaner, or attitude, that you first notice. The moment you see that he has decided that the moment is worthy, he will pick uo his guitar ... and pause. Those of us who have been blessed by his presence and friendship know what's coming. We just smile at each other and set our instruments down and wait with anticipation ... and we are NEVER dissapointed. Don Firth, to me, has always been the consummate folk singer. A performer who chooses and researches his material very, very carefully. He and I have been friends for years and I am truly blessed by that. Would that each of you should have the opportunity to constantly learn from such a person. CHEERS, Bob(deckman)Nelson
