Hey y'all!!! Merry X-mas and Happy New Year! I hope next will be better.
I've been outta the loop struggling to get by or so it seems. Anyway.......
Went out and saw some cat named Cyril Lance last nite. Great show! Although I was just about the only one there and left at 1:00 am, what I saw was awesome. Cyril was a very good player quite capable. And he also had a player named Matt Jenson on B-3 who was a monster. Then to top it off he had none other than Johnny Neel on keys. Johnny is still blind still crazy and playing and singing better than ever. Seriously these two guys take back seat to nobody with their playing.
I picked up both of their CDs. I can't stop listening to Johnny Neel's Late Night Breakfast. What a great CD cover as well. Maybe I don't see the big picture but Johnny is a serious talent in this idiom of music that we love so much.
He also said something pretty cool. He said, "I can't tell if there is thirty or thirty thousand of you out there. Its like there is thirty thousand of you out there to a blind man." And sure enough he played like he was at Woodstock.
Anyway just a little heads up for the rest of y'all. Check out Cyril Lance or pick up his or Johnny Neel's CD. You'll like. Peace.
Oh yeah Goliath...."when my left I jump. Somebody got to go."
