Re: Klezmer Bluegrass Fusion

[robert wiener <wiener...>]

The first I ever heard of Andy Statman was in a Stereo Review review
(now deep in my files) of his first LP Flatbush Waltz (appeared in
1981) of bluegrass mandolin.  In fact, I believe that sending him a
photo-copy of the review (complete with a picture of Andy and
mandolin) must have helped persuade him to play at our wedding.
