Do you give guitar lessons online via skype
Been listening to you for nearly forty years. Thrilled to be able to see you at Fur Peace Ranch this weekend. Been looking forward to it for a long time!
I love your playing on Dan Fogelberg’s High Country Snows. I listen to it all the time. You are an amazing player!
Sandman was playing when I met my now wife. That was 35 years ago. I’ve had two copies. Wore the first one out and the second was recently destroyed. For the past two years, to no avail, I have not been able to find it. Pity.
Hi Herb, I first came across your music when I bought a number of LPs in the early seventies and found your name amongst the musicians on each and every one.
We saw you and Chris in Chester, England a few years ago and we spoke briefly. What a great show it was.
Anyway I am curious as to the origin of the title Loafers’ Glory. The internet isn’t much use in finding the answer. I would be grateful if anyone could enlighten me please.
It’s a great album by the way
I have been a fan since I first heard Southwest and Sandman at the age of about eleven, still go back to Southwest and your work with Emmylou Harris and Nicolette Larson for harmony. Would love to see you re-release Sandman as a digital download, and if you ever come to Kansas or the Walnut Valley Festival, I would be able to check you off on my bucket list for concerts!
Herb,
I love your harmonies over the years with Chris! I play DRB CDs all the time. Wow, all natural vocals. Such “Natural Vocals” seem to be growing more rare as pitch correnction technology has enabled a new generation of “artists”. Thanks for keeping it “real”!
Warm Regards,
John

Much enjoyed last night’s “private” show in Melbourne: solid, solid playing Herb! Pity about the noise from the back, though.
Thanks to Herb and Chris for a wonderful show yesterday, Sunday March 18, at a vineyard outside Melbourne.
Truly one of the greatest musical days of my life.
Herb & Chris, Thank you for travelling to the little town of Eumundi in Qld.Australia last night.. the venue Joe’s Waterhole was packed & I along with everyone else was in awe of your voices & musicianship…bring more cd’s to sell next time:)
Forever your fan,

Herb, recently, you and Chris were in Greenville, Tx (not that you need to be reminded) and we had the opportunity to catch your performance at the GMA. What a great performance! My wife had no point of reference for what she was about to hear in Greenville – she still speaks of your incredibly great voice/harmonies. After, we spoke about one of the songs you recorded, “Paperback Writer” – Beatles, thanks for sharing that story. That was one of my fav’s back in the 70′s. Additionally, was a huge DRB fan as well. Thanks for all the music and the memories Herb! Bless you and your family sir!
herb, what is the guitar you are playing curently? i love the balance and response it has off the basssier notes. please let me know. by the way….. my cousin and i know your stuff and chris’s so well it’s so much fun to play songs off bakersfield and the barn albums. I met you guys in san diego when you played a couple of concerts at a stree fair in normal heights. I still wear my tee shirt with you guys at top billing proudly. Can’t wait for the next album.

I still listen to your “Sandman” LP – one of my faves!
Hi Herb!!
I was happy to be able to catch You and Chris, Bill and Larry at Dave Edwards Barn in Nipomo on the 22nd of Oct. The show was one of the biggest highs Ive had since the old days with Vassar and Dickie back in Fla in the 70s. Thanks for autographin’ the little Baby Martin for me. I’ll try to get back with ya to make sure you get the pix from that evening. They came out well.
Keep on Pickin’

I saw you and Chris last Saturday at the South Pasadena festival. Wonderful set. I was hoping for some Pedersongs and was thrilled with “Old Train” and “Wait A Minute”. I briefly thought I was back in the Birchmere on Thursday night in 1978, listening to Starling/Duffy et al. You apologized for your voice, but the crowd thought you sounded wonderful.

Dear Herb,
You don’t remember me but I remember you from St. Mary’s high school. You & Butch taught me how to play the intro to MTA on the four string banjo and the chords to Maria on the guitar. I cannot remember the name of the third guy you and Butch sang with in High School or the name of the trio, but I do remember that everyone loved the music and the trio especially the girls. The last time I saw you play was in Berkeley at the Jabberwalk Cafe on telegraph. My group the Country Club Singers played Thursdays & Fridays and the Pine Valley Boys played Saturdays. Have followed and appreciate your music and the people you have played with especially the Desert Rose Band and The Rice-Hillman-Pedersen CD.
Cheers & Best Wishes

Looking forward to seeing you in Mountain View, Arkansas in Sept….
Have seen you play so many times years ago all over So California. I live 2 miles from the Folk Center the last 17 years. My Dad ( Mel Durham ) loved you guys..

Hello Herb,
My husband and I have enjoyed, you, Chris and the boys several times at McCabe’s in Sta. Monica. I once remided you that you should come back to Mountain View Arkansas to the Folk Center and it appears YOU ARE! We cammot wait and will bring a crowd with us!Nothing like having great music to look forward to! We’re so indebted to you and your friends for pairing great music with great memories through the years!
Needless to say a fan,
tj
Hi Herb,
Caught your show last night @ Hughs Rm. in Toronto. Very special night for all. Both you guys can only be described as musical treasures. I’ve followed you both from the Birds and the Dillards to the present and have to congratulate you on outstanding musical journeys.
“Blue Canadian Rockies” was sublime. I think that came right out of Chris’s subconcious along with Gengis Khan’s sheep.
Take Care and Thanks
Great (as per usual) concert in Chatham, NJ this past Saturday. Thank you very, very much, gentlemen. I’ve seen you several times, and the Desert Rose band several times as well, and you never, ever just go through the motions.
But my favorite concert of all time, admittedly, was one I literally stumbled into. Macy’s in NYC on a Friday afternoon in May 1967, my senior year in college, I was buying darts for a fraternity carnival at Columbia the next day. And I was lucky enough to catch the last half of Buck Owens’ first free concert near the rugd. Loved it so much I waited for the second, full show, which opened with Wynn Stewart. Consider myself very lucky indeed to see Buck at the very height of his greatness, and when Don Rich amd Tom Brumley were in the Buckaroos. It seems odd to note this, but as I walked away from Buck’s show that sunny afternoon when the audience (it was some sort of anniversary for Macy’s) seemed to mainly consist of me, a few clerks on break and Macy’s executives, I realized I’d just become a lifelong country music fan.
And Chris and Herb’s great singing on spot-on harmonies Saturday night only reminded me how sad and annoyed I am that the NY metro area doesn’t have a country music radio station.
Happy Birthday Herb!!
Herb,
What an honor and oleasure it was to work with you, Vassar and David Grisman back in 1996.
Warm regards to a great artist,
Bob Zachary
Thank you for all the wonderful music all these years. It’s not possible I’ve been listening to you for over 40 years ’cause neither of us is older than 29, right?! After hearing DRB in Colorado a couple years ago and at the Birchmere last August, I truly think you and Chris have improved with age, if that’s possible, because you both sound as good if not better than you did when you WERE 29! Looking forward to hearing you and Chris in Bean Blossom show in Indiana in June. Perfect place to hear two of my favorite bluegrass musicians.
Thank you for making music!
Hope Chris sings Happy Birthday to you at the Wilmington concert, otherwise I will. Looking forward to the concert!
Herb,
Really excited to see you in Bozeman tomorrow night (3-25-2011) at the 100-year-old historic, nearly acoustically perfect Ellen Theatre. It will be a treat to hear you guys again. Been playing your various recordings for years on my radio shows, going back to I guess late 1970s. I am wondering if you know where a person might find one of your solo records from late 1970s, “Sandman?” I did not see it on your CD page. My copy got wore out, then the truck cassette player ate it, and that was it, except for the hours of pleasure I got from the harmonies on it.
Thanks for all you continue to do in music!
Rik James “Americana Backroads” (KGLT-FM, Bozeman, MT)
Rik…I have Sandman.I had the lp put on cd-r by a good friend of mine in Oregon.I could only put this on a high bias tape for you.No way to burn cds.Just thought I’d let you know.Paul J.
I have always enjoyed your contributions to Linda Ronstadt’s illustrious masterpieces. So heartfelt, passionate, harmonic. You are truly a gifted ARTIST, Sir.
