    “There’s some played harder, and there’s some played smarter, but nobody played like you.” The Life and Times of Stringband By Gary Cristall Gary Cristall wrote this essay in 2002 as the liner notes – possibly the world’s longest – for the Indispensable Stringband box set. Someone asked me if I had read them before publication. I said I had and I thought they were terrific. He was surprised. “You don’t come off very well,” he said. “I thought I did,” I said. To my ear, Gary’s account rings remarkably true. - Bob Bossin IF YOU HAD WANDERED through downtown Toronto on a summer’s evening in 1972, you might have wound up on the Yonge Street mall. A half dozen blocks of Toronto’s main thoroughfare had been closed to traffic that summer and turned into a cross between a European boulevard and an Arab souk. There were hippie jewellers and sellers of tie-dyed T-shirts. There was also a profusion of buskers. As you walked along, one quartet might have caught your ear. They were your typical folk band–banjo, guitar, fiddle, and washtub bass–played by three long-haired young men and a comely young woman with a beguiling voice. The banjo player exuded energy and chutzpah; the lanky fiddler sawed his violin with passion and skill. A dog of undetermined breed snoozed at their feet. They would play two or three hot tunes to gather a crowd and then the bass player would flip over his washtub to reveal the legend “Fight Muzak” painted on the bottom.
