Re: Frisell live gig...

Thanks for the link to recording of the show, Steve.  Too bad I'm unable to get it to play or save it on my 'puter.  Anybody else having the same problem?

 

I'm a pretty big fan of Bill and I've seen him four times (and had a chance to talk to him after one) and he's pretty mellow and unassuming.

 

But his music is absolutely great - sometimes I think he musically repeats himself but since it's great playing to begin with, then I'm not going to complain about it.
