Hello Danus,
Are you playing here in the States when you come? I have two groups that are palying here in Florida. (Pickin' Point and Scrap Iron) We do Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, Doc Watson, Ralph Stanley and a myriad of others styles, including quite a bit of original stuff.
I'll be playing at MerleFest, along with my playing partner, Tom Roberts. We are competing in the guitar championship and hopefully, the songwriting competition as well. It is April 24-27 in Wilkesboro, NC. If you're not familiar with it, their website is:
www.merlefest.com
It's a great website. If you've not planned to go, the website will suck you right in.
As for the Osbornes, I have none of their CD's. But do agree, they were very innovative. Their timing was like a lot of other great bands for that period. The commercial market just wasn't geared for them. But then, the corporate moguls usually have a way of mucking things up that way. But...enough of that negative stuff.
I trust you will have a great trip to the states and maybe we'll cross paths.
Regards,
Phil Adams
