Farnsworth was sooooo doggone good! I'm sorry he's gone, and that there aren't more like him.

Thanks Ski.

I'll have to check out that movie.

I have always liked R. Farnsworth.

In this multimedia age perhaps what we're listening to and watching on TV counts.  A couple of times in the last 3 weeks I've channel surfed to find re-runs of Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival broadcast on Palladia.  As a result, I've enjoyed some magnificent guitar work from Slowhand himself, Keb Mo, Buddy Guy, Jeff Beck, John Mayer, Derek Trucks, Johnny Winter, and Doyle Bramhall II, just to name the first few off the top of my head.  Each with their own backup band (including Jeff Beck's amazing bassist Tal Wilkenfeld-the Prodigy from Down Under) and playing along with one another in various combinations.  Palladia runs these for 3-5 hours of programming time, catching the high points of each years' Festival.

Kate Power and Steve Einhorn (former owners of Artichoke Music, Portland).   Nice people.

I was watching an Public Broadcasting special on  Craft in America (Music), documenting true talent in instrument making.  If you get a chance to see it, it's worth the watch.   Here's a video of Rhiannon Giddens playing a replica of an 1850s banjo.   The music starts at about 2:40 if you want to skip ahead.
