| That's funny, I thought I read that the greatest slide guitar player
on the planet was touring, but I didn't see Sonny Landreth's name
mentioned ;_)

| BTW, I've seen the disk you are referring to, but I haven't bought
it yet. Next time I'm in the records stores, I'll note the name
and post it. It may be a while. I've been trying to stay away from
these places lately. Too tempting!

| While Sonny is certainly up there, I did once witness the sad spectacle of him
ripping off Cooder's solo on John Hiatt's Lipstick Sunset from the Bring the
Family LP. He didn't quite make it!!! I'd have more respect if he'd played his
own thing. Speaking of which that very same solo, which truly is sublime,
consists of the tune to "Danny Boy", beloved croon of drunken, aged Irishmen.
Anyway I now know the name of David Byrnes record label and the okinawan
guitarist so i should be able to track down this interesting sounding CD.
( LUAKA BOP & Shoukichi Kina ).
Interestingly, David Lindley has a theory that cultures whose main staple food
is rice and fish produce similar music. Apparently the rythmns of Okinawa and
Jamaica are not entirely dissimilar, good-time laid-back groove.
Also while I'm on the subject check out the demon guitarist from hell,
a guy from Madagascar called D'Gary, CD available on the Shanachie label.
Recorded by David Lindley and Henry Kaiser, this guy didn't even own his own
guitar till they gave him one. He uses the weirdest open tunings and must have
at least four hands. Brilliant.

| Re. European dates
RC and DL are playing in the Netherlands on June 19 and 20.
I don't know of any other dates.
I have seen them a few years ago in Amsterdam and it was one of
the best concerts I've attended.
Unfortunately (;-)) I'm on holiday in Great Britain in June.
Maybe I someone knows about dates in that country?
