I could never get the hang of the mandolin. I could "play", but I
couldn't play if that makes any sense to you. Just couldn't get the
stroke and fingering down evenly. I'd have periods of competence and
periods of total incompetence, but it never sounded "right".

I have never seen him, but I have the "Fiddlers 4" CD with Doucet,
Eggleston and Anger. That's a great CD.

I have seen on of his mentors, Tommy Jarrell way long time ago.

I'd never heard of him until about a month ago, when an old friend
dragged my wife and I to see him. He is awesome! I got the impression
that he's pretty much devoted his life to this music and the result
shows. IIRC he mentioned a number of names including Tommy Jarrell. I
also thought he was very witty & funny although it wasn't the sort of
venue for uproarious laughter.

I was only allowed to buy one CD at intermission and picked "Contented
Must Be" which we love. "Fiddlers 4" is on my list.
