Hey, Marvel.

That is totally awesome! If that ain't a new old time player, I don't know who is.

Thanks for posting that.

Hey John4y. I think he is on fire now. He is now REALLY good IMO. A few years back I was less impressed, I thought he is a wasted talent. But now ? He is hot IMO.

Yeah, he really sounds hot, and just like one of the oldtimers.

Hope you got the email.

Has anyone mentioned Spider John Koerner. That cat I remember from the 60s, and he's still goin' strong.

I was going to mention the great Hawkeye, but someone allready did. In addition, I'm surprised that Ari Eisinger has not received a mention yet. In my view the greatest living exponent of Blind Blake and Lemon Jefferson's music. There's also Neil Harpe who has made a couple of amazing CD's. Check out his Travellin' Man' awesome! And, Jerry Ricks, John Cephas, John Miller, Ernie Hawkins,etc
Then of course there's all the rank amateurs like me who may not be great musicians but do a job of keeping this kind of music alive by playing local gigs and house parties etc. Lets all take a bow!

There are several good guitarists today, why theres no big festival for accoustic guitarists I don't know, I think the people like the guitar very much especially since the 1960's, and many has a spot in their hearts to the acoustic.

Elam McKNight and John-Alex Mason are two young guns who are doing just that, and doing it very well.

Both are members here, but not frequent visitors. Highly recommend both.

Never put off til tomorrow what you can do the day after.

Hi, Marvel.

I think you might be surprised if you knew about some of the festivals over here that featured acoustic blues artists. One has just concluded here after three days running. I think it was Slim Lively or bluesslave that spoke of one on the west coast.

Michael Roach is another fine performer/educator---a Washingtonian now residing in the uk--awesome country blues player, learned from john cephas and jerry ricks and a whole host of old guys..Michael is awesome ..( plus i co-wrote his new album with him and danny mccormack a fine pianist and arranger--so i`m a bit biased !!!---maybe this post should have been in "shameless plugs!"!!!!!!!!)

I don't think that I know of anyone who can play Rev. Gary Davis like Stefan Grossman. He also can play in various pre-war styles. Students who want to get into his school today sure have to wait in line.

Though Taj Mahal is into a wide spectrum of music these days, he still is one of the new old time players because that music still comes up now and then in his shows.

He's pretty good, if that's the singer that I heard after clicking that 'folkscene' link. The song was very bluesy.
