1. I've never heard of him before, but I agree it was an amazing rendition -- love his voice.

But that "I'm not that innocent" line has got to go.

4. Saw him live last Tuesday

He blew Mr1gobluedem and me away. The Mr. is a professional musician and not easily impressed but he actually leapt to his feet and began applauding at one point, he was so amazed. Very unlike him.

6. Yep, Richard Thompson will do that

I'm strictly amateur, but he and Bruce Cockburn are shows I always want to catch, because it's quite likely you'll see something you've never seen before, and that is positively amazing.

5. That may be, but he's Muslim (like our president!) so as an American, I fear and loathe him.

:crazy:
