Betty Davis (as in Mrs Miles)

This is even more incredible knowing it was recorded in 1969 and it's only been on radio for 10 years or so. She was way ahead of her time

Down Home Girl

[LowRyter]

Heard this ol' jewel on Aardvark Blues

Bev gave this album to me for B-day.

One of the best flat and finger pickers I've ever heard. Grew up playing bluegrass, but can play and sing anything. Here, he's covering Dylan, the only person I've heard that gives the same feel..

 Don't know how to imbed. Well I see it did it automatically.

Billy Strings just might be the best guitarist I’ve ever heard!

Worth exploring on YouTube..here he’s playing Pink Floyd.

The best guitarist I have ever heard, most likely. At least at short range. This bloke was at Uni the same time I was, and I recorded a few demos for him, with him and a bloke playing Vibraphone.

at the time, he was paying the rent playing in this band.

Another Austrlian. Unfortunately, I've never heard him live. Would love to, though. The video is quite old, I think, but he is still around.

And another one.

As a teenager, I quite liked this band.

and this bloke played guitar with them

and I did end up hearing him live. Some time in the '90s I had a job in the Gasteig in Munich, and there he was on stage. And he turned out to be a nice bloke.

Still around. And in Nashville . . .

I once heard Tommy Emmanuel introduce his "band" on the radio. I was surprised the bassplayer didn't groan or the drummer hit a rim-shot.  Years later, I saw the bit live (Tommy is quite a funny chap) . . .

The gig I heard on the radio, he said (something like), "You know how to get the bassplayer off the porch? Pay him for the pizza!" And, "Drummers are people that like to hang out with musicians."

Yeah, I've followed Tommy for years. Here's apparently an unrehearsed duet. They play off each other effortlessly..

Well, that didn't work..

Very nice, and now I'm convinced about Billy Strings. If he can keep up with Tommy Emmanuel like that, he's ok.

[docc]

Y'all-boys need to remember when to shift into low gear!

 

[audiomick]

@docc this is solely and entirely your fault, due to the previous post. I take absolutely no responsibility.
