Chip, it's him that played the banjo towards the end of the song "Bluebird".

I just thought it would be nice if they had him as a guest. Like Rusty Young or James Burton, who also contributed to several songs.

Now that's it Joachim...absolutely a banjo at the end of Bluebird.

Some great acoustic pickin', too, ala Steve Stills.

Just a super song. Thanks. :)

My buddy is flying out for the show in LA at the Wiltern, he is single and has tons of Frequent Flyer miles. I have none of either.

Looks like the tour has been pushed back to later in 2012 now. No reason has been given, but Furay's manager says that it is on the top of Neil's priority list. Either way, I'm flying to the closest date when it happens.
