Thread Name: Some GOOD news: Chris Newman in US
Subject: RE: BS: Some GOOD news
One of the reasons I'm playing at the North Texas Irish Festival in March is that Chris and Maire are performing there. He is the most incredible guitarist (sorry Jed and Rick) I've seen in a long tome. I loved his work when he was backing Fred Wedlock, but at a session after the festival last year, he was AMAZING. Anything...he can play anything! Folk, bluegrass, country, jazz, classical, Celtic..all at the same time. Jed, after we do our thing (Oh by the way, did you rehearse while you were gallivanting around up there with God's frozen people?) come and sit in the session with Chris and the others.
