Re: (Sheet Music for) Bill Frisell's ("Strange Meeting")

I'm a pretty big Bill fan and seen three times live - the most recent was in Erie, PA this past May with the Unspeakable Orchestra.

 

Shy?  Hell, yes.  I think at all the concerts he said about three words other than introducing the band.  I got backstage at concet #2 (art gallery in Buffalo w/ tony schear and joey baron ) and got a few more words out of him but joey was a riot.

 

Bill's pretty mellow - not sure if it's from too much pot or what; in a few interviews I've read he does come across as rather articulate - maybe he puts an effort into them...

 

I've got about 2 dozen of his cd's - either as leader, co-leader, or a guest.  My favourites are probably "Have A Little Faith" and "This Land" (which have the same players on them and I've always viewed them together as a double album) but he had a really great run of Nashville, Gone Just Like a Train and Good Man Happy Dog.  The recent live album - East West - is also a keeper.
