Jammin' with Jack, hunh? Nice going. How I envy you.
Me, I used to lug my D-35 Martin to Westercons, MythCons, and what not--but generally kept to myself off in shadows.
Oh, I can pick--and even roll a trifle--but The Fear of "live" performance still haunts me and I'd never presume to step up and "trade twelves" with the likes of Jack Vance, of all sentient beings. ...But now gimme a Forest Goblin mask (and make EVERYbody be in persona)... :)

: and croak out some snappy tunes, too. I played with him at the westercon in 198? a bit.. he only did ReaLLy old stuff.. pre 1930ish... he was a character worthy of one of his own books
