I've just been viewing the Transatlantic Sessions DVD. Probably the most inspiring musical performance I've ever watched - live or recorded! Waiting for a back-order of all the previous ones... Latest (TS6) is now available on CD/DVD. |

Now in my ‘70s I find there's not much bluegrass in SA and the BHO still keeps me in touch with the wider world of banjos and I've taken to writing some fiction, along with songs. The BHO is a lekker (Afrikaans: =“nice”) home-from-home and seems indestructible – thank you Eric.
