A few days ago I had a pleasant email exchange with Mike Compton over a CD of his ("Gallop to Georgia") that I ordered but that for some reason got sent back. it sent me to his website, where I started to read his blog. I remember that years ago MC kept a lively, well-written blog about the musician's life but had stopped. Well, it turns out that he's taken it up again and I'm enjoying reading it.
I was particularly struck by a recent entry about the trials of the right hand. We amateur pickers tend to think that the pros have it all figured out. But it isn't so. Turns out right hand technique is still something of a struggle and a mystery for this great player. If you're interested in reading it, here's a link.
Cheers.
