1. Have you listened to Ana Popovic, the Serbian blues guitarist?

3. No, but I will now. She's fantastic! Thanks for mentioning her. I was thinking

that another female guitarist I'd posted about here was from Serbia, but I misremembered the country.

Vanja Sky, who's also very good, is from Croatia:

6. Saw her a few years ago at the Big Muddy Blues Festival

In St Louis.

Walter Trout was scheduled to end the festival, but that was the year his liver failed.

Ana stayed in town and played the last show on Sunday - She had closeed on Friday too.

2. Cool band ... I'd definitely jam with her ...

Interesting to see a blues player (esp this sort of traditional blues) playing a 24 fret guitar as she does here. More typically you see a 22-fret like the Telecaster the dude is playing. 24-fret tone is a bit more chiming, 22-fret is warmer/fatter sounding. They're a nice contrast here though

4. I'm trying to find some info on her gear and that guitar in particular. That search

led me to a page that didn't include anything on her gear, but did list her as one of the best guitarists in the world right now:

Still looking for info on that guitar and whether she often prefers 24 to 22 frets.

She hasn't always used that guitar for that song:

5. Not a biggie, not trying to give you work to do HPD :)

I dig the dude's Tele ... His Purple Badness used to play a Hohner-made replica of that classic Fender (the MadCat).

Man, I'd love one of those, made by either company
