Dutch says: 4/28/2013 9:11:52 AM Hi Liz, Well, I took your advise and e-mailed Pierre. I'll let you know what I find. Dutch

	Liz Williams says: 4/28/2013 9:35:01 AM Can't wait to find out more, Dutch. That driving rhythm is fantastic. Bob, we'll give you a pass form letting a Canadian player slip by you. This time. ;-)
	Liz Williams says: 4/28/2013 9:41:02 AM Pierre is a mad genius luthier: Did you notice that the 8-string and 12-string configurations on his double Weissenborns? Now I'm going to spend hours on you tube looking for videos of him playing on of those.
Dutch says: 4/28/2013 11:39:02 AM And so under the radar! Hoping he is well and just busy building strange masterpieces 8-)
	Liz Williams says: 4/28/2013 12:14:00 PM Me too, Dutch. I also sent him a message. Too curious not to. Plus, it's more fun than doing laundry.
