Hey Curtis. Good to hear from you. Happy New Year! Thanks for the links. They are both terrific. You inspired me to try to learn some Delta blues stuff, which is a lot of fun--you're never too old to learn new guitar techniques as Bruce Cockburn says--and I thank you for that. (Can't claim any great proficiency but I'm having a good time.)
