Kaufman, heroes pack new CD with 18 tunes
Flatpicking guitar master Steve Kaufman’s latest CD, “Mystique,” contains a couple of firsts.
Track No. 1, “Classical Gas,” which became an unlikely rock hit in the late 1960s for guitarist Mason Williams, is the first fingerpicking tune Kaufman learned. “Mystique’s” final track, “Black Mountain Rag,” is the first flatpicking tune Kaufman mastered.
“You also have all the musical ideas in between then and now,” Kaufman says on his Web site, flatpik.com. “I am proud to play with some of my musical heroes. They are some of the best musicians and human beings in the world.”
And campers have a unique dorm option — they can pick either quiet floors or jam floors.
