This picture is from far away, but the experience of playing with Buddy Mondlock was too great NOT to write about. Here he is at Spencer Main Street Market (he's the guy in the blue shirt with a guitar).

For those of you who don't know Buddy's music, you must check him out. His songs have been covered by Peter, Paul and Mary, David Wilcox, Janis Ian, Nanci Griffith, among others. He has co-written songs with Guy Clark and Art Garfunkel. He is a writer's writer for sure.

I think I learned more from Buddy's humble and grateful presence than anything. I mean, here's this guy who has been writing and singing with the best of them for years and he took the time to ask me about my music, and swap CD's with me. His songs speak for themselves (check out "The Kid" and "I Count You My Friend")....but his presence was inspiring, and it is after experiences like this one, where I realize that I, too, am blessed to be connecting with the best in the business.
