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.)

She MUST be better looking than you.

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.

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.
