It was fingerpicking heaven today at the Chet Atkins Appreciation Convention here in Nashville. I got to meet Fred Kelly, the inventor of my favorite thumb pick. It was especially nice to catch up with New Zealand friend Mark Mazengarb, who along with Loren Barrigar, is a headline act at this years convention. Mark and Loren played in the main concert this evening and were far and away the best and most enthusiastically received act of the night. It was great to see New Zealand so well represented with Mark playing his New Zealand made Peter Madil guitar.
I got back “home” in time to have a nice chat with my hosts Doug and Cindy in their lovely 107 year old villa.
Americana for the day: Ho don a minute.
