A resource for lovers of the 12-string guitar

Leo Kottke at The Woodstock Opera House

On September 26'th I went to see Leo Kottke perform at the Woodstock Opera House in Woodstock Illinois. This was my eight time seeing him there. He was really playing well that night and I could tell he was enjoying himself playing. He really was entertaining in all aspects. After the show I got to meet him again and briefly talked about 12 string guitar setup with him. He seemed to me to be a really geniune and down to earth sort of a person and I enjoyed talking with him. My wife took this photo of us.

At a much later date I tried to recall his set list. Here is what I remember. Not in order of the performance

He is really an inspiration to me with regards to my guitar playing and I thank him for the music he creates.
