I hate to admit it, but I was not that familiar with Man other than hearing a couple of things either at a friends house or on the radio. He was phenomenal, played 2 hrs by himself on a 00-18, a Bouzouki, and a fiddle. He was personable with a lot of stories along the way and was quite entertaining even when not playing. Don't know how many Forumites are familiar with him, but it is well worth a trip to see him. Peace Bobby AKA Goof OM-42 Guild F-212

I love his singing, songwriting, guitar and mandolin playing ----he has it all! And a heck of a nice guy, too. I've seen him many times and he always puts 100% into a performance. My favorite album (among so many)--check out his Celtic/Bluegrass crossover albume, "The Crossing".

I did a series of posts on my blog www.ItsGreatToBeAlive.com of Tim Obrien in the many different bands he was in over the years. You can download the shows in mp3. Cheers, Luke

Tim is also a first class fiddler. ...and I love to hear him play clawhammer banjo. Red Dog In The Morning is one of my all time favorite tunes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhPdL2jep64 What a talented fella.

Most of the ones I have seen resemble a big mando, but this one was shaped like an arch top f-hole guitar. It sounded really good and he played it great. Also wore the fiddle out. All in all it was a great night and old Downtown McKinney, TX left a really good impression also. Peace Goof

One of my all time favorite records is "Real Time" with Tim and Darrell Scott, sitting in a living room and tearing it up. Play guitar, and never eat anything bigger than your head.

He was complaining of a cold and sore throat but you wouldn't know it from his singing. Probably the same instrumental lineup mentioned here (not sure it was a 00-18). Ferociously talented man. P.S. My favorite song of the night was his cover of "Lay Down Your Weary Tune". Spine-tingling.

Kev.
