He's always great show. I saw him in 2012 when his band included the amazing Val McCallum on lead and the insanely talented Shawn and Sara Watkins. Super fun show. He had like 30 guitars on stage that tour....
Got to hang out with him and the band after the show and talked guitars for a bit with him and Val. Pretty cool experience.
I'd give anything for any of his many Roy Smeck Gibbys, the SmeckAlister he uses for "these days" is incredible, too. Despite his clear affinity for Gibson (and Gibsonesque). I'm probably most jealous of the Martin 00-17 because it just has the woodiest tone and I love all hog.
I gotta catch him again soon.
