More roses than thorns, and I'm gratified to see that Andy, whose standards are high, snapped up half of this line up at my show at TJ's.

So this was up to Andy's usual high standard. I've hardly missed one of these for the last couple of years, and they've all been at least "good".

Special mention must go to the single thorn amongst the roses, Bruce Dennil, who was selling CDs on a "pay what you think it's worth" basis with all proceeds going to Andy's "Give a Guitar" charity.

Another special mention to Nechama Brodie who is growing in leaps and bounds as a performer - a testimony to the value of getting out there and doing it - but all the performers were good.

Last wednesday of next month is the last Acoustic Forum for the year. Andy is promising a special lineup for that show.
