Oddville, The Frogs and Sebastian Bach..a walk down memory lane. 

I love this song but try explaining it to your girlfriend/wife.

I saw him and Peter Frampton at the Beau Rivage casino in Mississippi about 12 years ago. They put on a show!

Since then I've been a Bonamassa fan. Never heard of him until then. Nice surprise.

Bonamassa is a real talent, and he CAN play wonderfully.

I saw him at Red Rocks this summer and both I and my friends attending were let down by his performance.  When he plays, it's all about him. Endless guitar wanking, going on in his solos much too long, and too much emphasis on his own originals which designed to let him go on and on.

When he steps out of his "look at me, I'm the star" mode long enough to try a traditional blues tune or let someone else in the band really take some solo time, he's really good. Otherwise, he wore out his schtick in about 45 minutes.

I love good guitar, especially living and dead musicans like Danny Gatton, "Richard" Dale, Santana, Popa Chubby and many others.  I love Bonammassa's technique, just not the way he uses it when he performs.

(Got a chuckle from the website automatically turning Dale's first name into D***.  Therefore, I used Richard.)

Here's another surprise to me. The guy is a chick magnet but he can play the guitar like a mother.

 

And another! I could go for days.

Don't know if you saw these...

I should have mentioned SRV, but that kinda goes without saying.  I loved the work of his bass player, Tommy Shannon. His work with SRV was outstanding.

For a treat, here's a version of Pipeline that I love...SVR and "Richard" Dale from the little-known movie "Back to the Beach" which was a beach movie reunion of Frankie Avalon & Annette Funicello.  It didn't make it into the final cut of the movie, but it's one of the best versions of Pipeline you'll ever hear:

Double Trouble played with Kenny Wayne Sheperd on a project he did where they played with old blues guys. They came to my little town and recorded with Jerry "Boogieman" McCain at a studio one of my buddies owns. Me and maybe 20 other people were let in. It was cool as anything I've ever done. Kenny Wayne's birthday was that day and I sang happy birthday to him and Mel Gibson's daughter. That's KWS wife.

 

My Anthem!
