Scott 2.0

Blues Newbie
Saw Gatton at the Birchmere (small venue) - 20 feet away! He lived in MD and knew he liked to stay local, so thought there would be plenty of time to see him again and again.
 

Crossroads

Thump the Bottom
Saw Danny in a small club in Manhattan. He had just won Guitar Player's "Player of the Year", which is how I learned of him. Wish I could find that plastic record that was in the magazine, he just blew me away.

Couldn't find anyone to go with me, but knew I had to go anyway. He did his whole routine including Sleepwalk, beer bottle slide with suds all over the neck, and then playing with the towel on the fretboard. Les Paul's quote always stuck with me, in that Danny could play anyone, but no one could play hm. So true.
