i have never had much exposure to gary smiths playing. this is a great album. it would be great if someone like cadillac zack could book him to play here is so cal. of coarse i would not here about it until afterwards. as i usually find out about things much too late.
Gary Smith taught David Barrett. Gary Smith taught Mark Ford. Gary is a blues harp godfather to be sure. GREAT stuff. Nice guy too. ---------- *************************************************** /Greg
Absolutely one of my favorite CDs. There's not a bad cut on the CD but Cut You Loose and Elevate Me Momma are my favorites. ---------- Tom Halchak www.BlueMoonHarmonicas.com
Hey 1847 - great to see you mention Cadillac Zack. He puts on some cool shows. I'm in Laguna beach, not a bad drive on a Sunday afternoon to get to Long Beach. Where are you located?
i am further north at the la. harbor... i have not been to a cadillac zack show in years. seems my email was purged from his records, or perhaps he only does facebook? i always forget he has blues shows weekly. its easier to go to a local blues jam on sundays, there are several around.
i would make an exception to see gary smith. he is in the top one percent for sure. i almost want to buy a green bullet after hearing him. well "almost"
