Saw Von at an SL live concert (if you don't know what that is, do yourself a favor and check out Second Life) and now I'm a regular fan! Does all the old fingerpicked blues (mississippi delta, piedmont, et. al.) true to form. His style and vocals are all reminiscent of the old blues master's, without all the hisses, pops and other audio failings of the early equipment used to record them. He and Roy Bookbinder would have a ball playing together!

Being able to listen to your music anytime just brings me right back to the old French Quarter no matter where I am at the time. [insert long string of superlatives here]
