How cool is that?! I've had the pleasure of Guy's company, but not in the presence of his potting.

How often do you get a chance to watch a real maestro at work?

Not all that often, depending on what and where.

BUt I had the chance today watching the master of modern potttery teach an admiring public about who he was and where he came from, how he did what he did and why it was important, where it came from and what it meant while dexterously demonstratintg the finest throwing skills I have ever seen.

Not only that, but for two breaks of about 40 minutes each, Guy Wolff and I sat down and wailed out the most amazing spontaneous bluegrass and other tunes I have played in a long while -- just wonderful interaction and reciprocal streams of rhyhm and harmony flyng through the high ceilings of the "Gardenology" site in Encinitas, CA, by the banks of the placid Pacific. They had set him up a borrowed wheel and a huge reserve of borrowed clay, and Guy just turned out the mos interesrting and beautiful potds all the day. Between times we jammed mosyt nacherly and it was a whale of a lot of fun.

Anyway we had a wonderful time blaring and harmonizing, and listening to his tales and most of all watching these magical pieces grow up underhis fingers. I cannot tellyou what a thrill it has been to spend a day this way. Guy is a wizard.

Thanks, Guy!! Catchya on the flipflop, man...
