Bill,
I'm thinking you got the wrong impression of David. I first met David at Steve Kaufman's first Flatpicking Camp back in '96. David got some bad press out of that for just one incident that I was lucky (?) enough to witness. Someone asked David about a solo in one his original tunes. David tried a couple of times to play it and said he couldn't remember just how it went, and said, "I guess you'll just have to buy the CD." And moved on. I just thought it was kind of funny but apparently lots of other folks didn't. David's sense of humor is sometimes a tad off center, he uses sarcasm a lot and is sometimes just a smart ass. I've never had much luck learning anything from David as we are not from the same planet, but I've always enjoyed hanging out with him and I don't think there is a better guitar player anywhere.

I attended a workshop at IBMA a couple of years ago and he acted like it was the last place he wanted to be. Whenever someone asked him a question, he acted like it was the stupidest question he'd ever heard. Other members of the panel, Bryan Sutton, Robert Bolin and Tim May on the other hand, were all very gracious and patient with the audience. Skip Cherryholmes was also on the panel and by his own admission was not in the same league as a picker with the others, and several times during his solos David would cut him a look and roll his eyes. Based on that experience I wouldn't pay $1 to see or hear him play. I also attended the mandolin workshop and found Adam Steffey, Emory Lester, Danny Roberts and Sierra Hull to be very gracious and accessible as well, so David really stood out in contrast.

David's non PC explanation of "listening" and how how many writers of tab are not good musicians "thats why they're writing books" How right you are...............great job to both these guys. Both are my favorite and heavily listened too. JM On Sep 29, 4:05 pm, Robin Gravina < [email protected] > wrote: > It was fun to hear and would have liked to hear more talking from the > twosome.
