If you live anywhere far away don't miss the chance either.

He really is the most amazing guitar player. I have not seen him play fiddle all that much but what I saw was superb as well.

Besides his fabulous guitar playing, and fiddle virtuosity, he is also a master of the mandolin and banjo.

JP is NOT just an amazing instrumentalist, but writes some great songs AND sings them as well.

I would bet in his performance, unless he is there to do instrumentals only, will include about 10 to 12 songs he has not put out on recordings.

I was talking about that last night, and know he has some recordings in various stages. Not quite complete, they are eagarly anticipated by all his fans, even if they don't know about them yet!

BTW, for those who CAN'T make it to Deerfield, check out his schedule for other locations you can see him.

Check out his web-page for information on his biography and other details of his career. It's an amazing read.

Well, sort of! He's funny sometimes.

Just do NOT dare him to do something! 8-)

Grasshopper, you might want to do a search on the Mudcat for some of the threads on HTML to see how to do those "Blickies". It's not hard. There are a number of threads for practicing as well.
