Finished an album yesterday with the very talented Martin Grosswendt, a
New England treasure.

I've been friends with Martin for many years. I just got an announcement
today
of his CD release show next weekend.



No kiddin'. How did you guys meet?

His sister was staying at the home of a music friend for a while, and
when Martin
discovered that people who played folk music hung around there, he came down
to visit frequently. Years of folk festivals that we both attended. And
recently, Music
Camps North where he used to be one of the administrative staff and
still is a regular
instructor.

His last CD was something I'm very proud of. Fans of his will find this
new one to be very enjoyable.

Did you record Martin's new CD as well, or only master it?

Record, mixed & mastered by me. Just like his first one (even tho' he
mistakenly also credited our Christine Lilley on it, who didn't even
attend one session of the record.)

Hey, while I was typing this reply Martin called! I asked him about you
and he said you were an extraordinary flat picker in the day. Coming
from him, that is quite a compliment. He said to pass on a hello to you.

Mike is also an excellent old-timey banjo player, and a good guitar
fingerpicker.

She MUST be better looking than you.

Good thing he qualified that with "in the day." He's much better than I am
now, but that's largely because he stuck with music and I got a job. In
addition to being a really skilled player, Martin has a very good sense of
assimilating musical styles and using what he absorbs very creatively. He
doesn't just play what he hears, he makes something new and interesting
out of it while keeping all the traditions that go into one of his songs or
arrangements intact. Sort of like Ry Cooder (which we both discovered
about the same time). Somebody should give him a grant to go to Africa
or Cuba.
