Understand this is moving to the Rivers restaurant?!! It'll be nice to have all that space as I'm sure he'll draw a large crowd!!
Really enjoyed the concert - Martin was very entertaining, down to earth - except for those "rock star" sunglasses ;) - and loved the thread about naming songs! So, not to upset the CF fans, and leaving the electronics issue on the Blackbird aside, I must say that to my ears the sound coming out of the Stearn guitar was much better than the Emerald -- guess I just prefer that wood tone. Also of note is that the Stearn had the new LR Baggs M80 pickup -- this really increased the out put in volume and tone of the percussive portions of Martin's style.
Thanks again to Michael, Martin and Jesse for a great evening!
Sounds like this one is going to be at MacNichol's instead of The Rivers restaurant -- looking forward to it!
