It was a great night, with Freddy playing acoustic, electric and lap steel guitar and violin. lang's setlist included "Helpless" by Neil Young, "A Kiss to Hang a Dream On" and other great tunes. Keep it going strong Freddy!

There are a few different items to touch on this time around.
#1) Freddy was mentioned in the December issue of Uncut (a British music
magazine). In the issue, there is a listing of people who have been a part of
Bob Dylan's Never Ending Tour. This is what it says about Freddy: "French-born
guitarist, rated by Dylan author Michael Gray as the best ever to feature in any
of Bob's bands-including Robertson and Bloomfield."
For those of you who don't know, the "Robertson" mentioned is Robbie Robertson,
who was a member of the Band and the "Bloomfield" mentioned is Michael
Bloomfield, who played on Dylan's album "Highway 61 Revisited."
#2) Freddy has played on a couple albums: "Plantation Gospel" by Earl Thomas,
and "Amor Doloroso" by Jacques Higelin.
#3) Freddy is producing and playing on Jude Johnstone's new album.
#4) This spring Freddy will be producing another album with Kenny Edwards.
