Little Martha's grave is about 200 yards from Duane's and Berry's.  Martha Ellis died at 12 years old, and the slab over her grave reads "OUR BABY."

Little Martha

edit:  Several unsuccesful attempts to download my photo, so I quit.  Damn, I feel old when I can't get my computer to do what I want it to.  I'm sure you can Google the image and find it on the web somewhere, though.

HATE THIS GUITAR ARCHITECTS
without feeling and rhythm.

KOTTKE is the perfect example,
for this technical BULLSHIT!

HATE HIM!!! and HIS (many) BUDDIES!

Any how, I like this. Did I read somewhere that Leo got disabilitating tendonitis from his use of fingerpicks and now just uses his bare fingers?

 
Wiki confirms this.

Great cover of a sweet tune.  How about some Allman Bros. next.  Blue Sky would be sweet.

I once knew a man in the Bay Area named Tom Smith who played his music like Leo Kottke.  Whatever happened to Tom Smith?

 It takes a tremendous amount  of guts to cover a Duane Allman tune- props to Leo.

Not bad, but I prefer the Allman Bros' version of this, even though this one sounds more technically-challenging.

Great segue from Hold On! I had the volume kinda low, but it sounded seamless as far as I could tell!

It must be Little Martha week; I just heard Jerry Douglas' version on RP last night. I like this one better, though.

Of course he does' foo-wool!

A good friend of mine is a part time jazz musician with two albums out and he plays Kottke anytime he's bored.
