Mike,

Carl still lives on that houseboat in Sausalito.
Give him a call and ask about those tapes.

Cheers,
Bruce

>>> Bill,

I took banjo lessons for two years from Carl Lunceford in 2000 - 2001.
He is a great banjo teacher. But, I don't remember him ever offering to
give me singing lessons. Maybe he thought they wouldn't do any good.

Cheers,

In 1999, I and my now ex-wife visited Carl and his wife in his houseboat at Sausalito, for the purpose of me selling my plectrum banjo I'd bought a few years previous from the now late Russ Presting.  I regret that sale with my very being.  Oh well.  It was quite the unique visit.  Before the independent buyer arrived, we dropped many a name and discussed many a style, and Carl kept pointing to the upstairs, where many rare tapes languished that I'd never be allowed near.  I have a real hunch many of those tapes have since been issued.
