Phil Rosenthal is the real thing, in strong voice and with confident picking, playing mosty guitar, some banjo and one blistering fast instrumental on mandolin. He lives in Guilford, two towns east of New Haven and plays in town occasionally.
Chatham County Line said they were a little chagrined to have one of their idols open for them, but it made sense as Phil was solo and they rock harder. I loved their set-up. No amps. One mike stand with a mike on top for vocals and fiddle and two mikes waist-high arrayed in a V to pick up the guitar, banjo and mandolin. The bass had a microphone planted under the bridge and everything went through the P.A. so they pretty much mixed it themselves the old-timey way by stepping up and back. They sounded fantastic, mixing with their feet.
