Hey, Mike et al Well I'm losing my sense of humor over here in hot old India -- too much chaos, too much traffic, and too much to do before I go back to the US next week. I'm trying to get stuff organized for various things, also mostly musical, but work work is weighing in as well general domestic crises. So I've been lurking on the site more than anything else. But since I'm speaking up, has anyone heard of a West Virginia fiddler called Delbert Hughes? and does anyone have any recordings of him? The tune I particularly want to hear is "Jodie," which is gorgeous but totally crooked. From the way it is crooked, I suspect Mr Hughes was a fairly idiosyncratic player. I'd love to hear anything by him, but him playing "Jodie" would be particularly good. And thanks for all who came up with Rocky Pallet. You guys have great resources. best, val
