Thanks! Yes, I've been a Renbourn fan since I was in high school
(37 years ago!!). I've had the opportunity to watch him play in very
small venues. His technique is impeccable. Trotto / Saltarello from
his Lady and the Unicorn LP was the first thing I ever heard from him.
I had been strumming Beatles and Cat Stevens songs for 9 years, and
my older brother came home from college with the LP and a brotherly,
"Let's see you do that." OMG! My jaw dropped. I'm still trying to play
like that - trying ...
BTW, is it "synchronicity" ?
