hey good stuff man thanks for posting.  not surprising at all the stuff he says about Catherine. and the release of the 3/4 record in itself earlier this year spoke to the same volumes, if not louder.  

the solo thing right now is working for Ryan. it's almost like he's starting the whole thing over again.  according to him that is actually what he is doing because of his hearing disease.  looking forward to the shows very much, and the new album is pretty intense. i could see maybe Norah Jones or Jon Graboff joining him for a tune at Carnegie Hall, but the bigger part of me really just wants to see him creep thru the whole thing alone.   with that said if he doesnt at least invite Catherine out for one song, i think the man is crazy.
