Jeff should not be missed. He is truly consider here locally (New England) and nationally as an American treasure trove of the music that America was whined on & rised on & with. Even to many of us here who search high & low for the wonderfull & obscure music of America, along the Sea Islands, harbors, mountains, Lumber & mining camps etc, Jeff just keeps coming up with the gems that the rest of us love to sing & his use on more instruments than what's mentioned above for accompanyment & tunes is just as sweet as & as fine as you could ever expect from someone who was not only raised at the feet of 2 of America's most well respected folk collectors but who also grew up meeting those sources & inheriting the love of their home grown music. There's no finer presenter/interpretor today of our folk music than Jeff To miss him, with what he has to offer would be a true shame. Barry
