Hey all
Keep an eye out for Bob Black's (former Blue Grass Boy banjoist and currently of Perfect Strangers) new book through University of Chicago Press entitled "Come Hither to Go Yonder." #It's Black's remembrances and thoughts on his time playing with WSM back during the mid 70's. #It's not been officially released yet, but the University of Chicago Press people had some they are selling out at BeanBlossom--I bought my copy on Saturday.
When I was talking to the lady at the U of Chicago table, I said it'll be interesting to read Black's book after just finishing up Butch Robins' book on being a Blue Grass boy. #The lady laughed and said something like, "Bob's book is sweeter'." #I've started reading the book and you really have to wonder if it wasn't written as a reaction to Butch's book (if not to confront it, to at least 'give the full picture.")
