Matt Andersen

[Jim Nasium]

I was recently at A Bluegrass festival here in the UK, I picked up a flyer re: forthcoming events in Ipswich, (a city Gordon mentioned in his 1972 concert, Steel Rail Blues) the flyer mentions Matt Andersen, "Canada's Greatest guitarist.....outrageous skill and contagious joy" I don't doubt he is good, but, Canada's greatest guitarist? He may be I don't know, any comments.

I cannot check him out this time around, but hopefully next year, if he pops back over here I will.

there's quite a few great ones - Randy Bachman, the late Dominic Troiano, the late Jeff Healey come to mind..there's many others...can't say I've heard of Matt Anderson.
