    Not sure, I loved it though - a real simple little tune in G, possibly a waltz? - any help out there?

    probably was Sensitive Waltz or a new tune called Anthem (not a waltz). anyway, Andy and the boys took Bellingham by storm last night. played to a standing room only crowd that was treated to the Trio's brilliant improvisations on Andy's original music as well as trad and non-trad mandolin music. about half and half between clarinet and mandolin, with the mandolin set taking the crowd to another planet. Andy's right hand is unequalled... moving at speeds to where it resembled a hummingbird's wing. completely redefining the mandolin's fingerboard, Andy's Kimble F5 really held up to questioning during Statman's otherworldly mandolinistic assaults. i hope those who missed the Bellingham show will somehow make it to the Seattle gig tonight... not to be missed! two standing ovations... the lads were truly moved by the fantastic Bellingham crowd... much respect and thanks to all who attended and again, many thanks to David and Grace Phalen, Flip Breskin and the folks at the YWCA for allowing us to use their beautiful Grand Ballroom for the show!

    The Fretboard Journal just posted this picture of Andy on Facebook today.





    Andy Statman with his Kimble F-5. The Gibson Gibson A2Z he played forever (and that was in our Statman feature back in issue two) has been retired. That's okay...this thing sounds great.

    The Fretboard Journal also just did an interview with Andy Statman. They'll be turning it into a podcast very soon.

    Fantastic Seattle show. My only regret is that I had to leave early. I will probably need to swing back by the venue tomorrow, because I think I left my jaw on the floor there!

    Rabbi Elie was a fantastic host. I'd like to publicly thank him for the opportunity to attend. It was fascinating to learn about the growth of Chabad, the Jewish student organization that Elie coordinates.

    Most of the people who came seemed to be there primarily to support Chabad and secondarily for the music. It was different in my case, since I knew nothing about Chabad before attending. I am not sure how many other Cafe-denizens or mandolin pickers were there; I did not recognize anyone.

    Although I was something of a fish out of water there, I felt very welcome and thoroughly enjoyed every part of the evening. I picked out the closest seat to where Andy was standing, and he and the boys played an amazing show.
