"Fantastic
kick-ass music.... Martin-With-Too-Many-Fingers Simpson
turned in a hell of a performance as always." -
Bernard Andres
"Not
a dull moment in ('Bootleg USA's) 67 minutes of music...Few
guitarists can match (Simpson's) fluidity, control,
and tonal quality." - Dirty Linen
This CD was the first release
put out by Martin's personal record label, High Bohemia

"Lilies of the Field", "Icarus",
"Highway 61 Medley", "Granemore Hare",

"One More Day", and a slide medley.

given in '99, recorded at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center
in Santa Cruz, CA, Stone Soup in Providence,
RI, and the Bay Theatre in Sutton's Bay, MI.
.One cut, "Fool me
Once", was recorded at the Bear Creek studio in
