Manring is a certifiable insane genius. Love the guitar playing too though.

Indeed. And he must have been bullied SO MUCH in school.

I believe Don will be at the Home County Folk Festival in London this year.

Yeah, saw that. I much prefer him in the more intimate settings.

Looks like Andy isn't touring with any more either.....double

I think Don Ross was also at Saunders Secondary School here recently, but I didn't find out until after the show

Back when I was at Fanshawe he did a Q&A/Performance for our class, and it was amazing. Super cool guy, and amazing to see him completely acoustic, no amplification at all, in a small lecture hall. "Any Colour But Blue" was amazing when it's just him standing in a room with his guitar.

despite the huge talent of Manring, he's never done it for me. I always feel he comes across as a showoff. calling him a genious is a bit overrated imo.
Don Ross and Andy McKee on the other hand. Wow!

The video of him playing a melody while constantly retuning and using Hipshot drop tuning keys was what did it for me. Not my thing musically, but being able to think that way and make it work is just mind boggling.

Hmmm, while that makes me have a severe case of gas for that bass, it's still just manring pointing his finger to Don Ross saying "hey, I can do crazy shit too" :lol:
Musically it does nothing for me.
