Looking forward to hearing Toby Walker this evening.
After the event: a very entertaining evening with plenty of good blues and ragtime instrumentals by an extraordinarily accomplished guitarist. I particularly liked his twelve-string versions of Blind Willie McTell's "Statesboro Blues" and Leadbelly's "Midnight Special", but the audience was mightily impressed by his interpretation of a Sousa march.
I asked him how he got that deep, resonant twelve-string sound: "Medium guage strings, tuned down from E to C or Bflat."
I wish I'd attended his workshop.
