You were terrific! Everyone go see Ian! I almost said hi but I figured you might bot know who I am. I asked Gill if there was any chance and she said it was a *really* long shot, but I held out hope til the last minute.

- sarahct I remember an interview in which Dave mentioned what his first guitar was, and that he still has it and composes on it. I cannot dig it out of my shambling archives, and I want to add that factoid to my bio. Anyone know?

wasn't there a taylor cutaway with the the tone rolled off somewhere in the very early mix too? Pretty sure that's the guitar you here on that really early bootleg (sponwed will know the one) with The Riverboat Song etc on.- -

I'm struck by how versatile her guitar playing is. When I watch her with Dave, she (and he) both play in a particular way to compliment each other. Playing alone, she has to reconfigure her style to make the...

I'd love to hear Willie. I don't know whether Willie and Ketch would perform together these days. Sara could certainly be the fiddle. (Isn't it Benmont Tench?) What about someone unexpected like Conor Oberst or Colin Meloy? Oh, the possibilities!

I know she has said that she plays a lot of guitars, but that the J-50 is the one she gigs with and the one she plays on H&H. My ear is not sensitive enough to tell what other guitara she might be playing on earlier records. It will be fun to see if she... more

I was listening to an old interview, from '95 maybe, and she gets talking about her cars because the interviewer says his car sounds funny. "It's a Chevy, though." "That's okay." Dave keeps them running, she said.
