Breau: I sure am. We’re going to do a bunch of my tunes and we’re going to do some standards as well as a bit of a tribute to Doc Watson — a tune in his memory, “Walk On Boy.” We’re going to do some jazz between my wife (Ann Charpentier Breau) and I — she’s going to be coming as a special guest and tooting the flute on a few tunes. She’s on my latest CD “Mirror in the Camp” and plays a beautiful alto flute solo on the cover song. So that’s what we’re planning on doing. It’s going to be a guitar fest in a sense that guitar players will certainly have something to listen to. It won’t be a standard folk offering, there will be some good variety in the music and Paul is an incredible singer and I’m really looking forward to introducing Slates to Paul.
