Jesse Winchester is a classic folkie and successful songwriter. His performing style is very much like Lyle Lovett, says concert producer Johnny Palazotto. Winchester is swinging through Shreveport with a gut-string guitar on his knee.
Buddy Flett is a classic bluesieand songwriter. Now that he's on the cd/dvd Ten days Out, with Kenny Wayne Shepherd, will things ever be the same?

I hate it that Marsha and I are missing Jesse Winchester, but we're doing a show in St. Louis on Feb. 2nd. We last saw Jesse at Enoch's Pub in the late '80's and it was a treat. We still going around singing that song about "living on a big round ball." And "The Brand New Tennessee Waltz" was an inspiration to me when I first started songwriting in the mid-70's. Monty Brown.
Hmmm... I just read this. Buddy is awesome, a distinct pleasure to hear any time he picks up a guitar. I also admire how he takes time to teach kids about the blues.
But on another subject -- guitars don't have gut strings any more. Classical-style guitars like Jesse's in the picture are stung with nylon and wound nylon. The sound is louder and the tone cleaner than gut.
And thanks, Robert, for calling tonight. I was preoccupied pushing buttons, but your comments were very encouraging.
