Ten days after, it's a double shot of TEN YEARS AFTER!

Ten days after.... it's a double shot of
TEN YEARS AFTER! Last night at the Iridium Room on Broadway in Manhattan, my beautiful wife/partner, Nan and I, celebrated four (4) years of Willy-Gilly Productions, Inc. (founded 8/17/09) by seeing  our new favorite (and the best ever 'Live') band inducted into the New York Blues Hall of Fame! WHAT A NIGHT! It was just a week ago that we experienced the greatest single 'Live' performance that this music maniac has ever seen at Infinity Hall in Norfolk, CT. I thought it would be impossible to top that wild ride, but last night I saw and heard things that just defy description. God bless, Alvin Lee! Beyond a shadow of a doubt, he is walking in the Pantheon of players, stroking some of the meanest riffs ever to fly from the frets of a Fender (or a Gibson or Martin, for that matter). But, last night, I could swear I saw Joe Gooch grow a second pair of hands to play runs that can't be played by mere mortals! His fingers moved so fast that it looked like they weren't moving at all, without dropping a beat! I've been looking at all the live footage of Ten Years After that I could find and there are some things that are blatantly obvious, Alvin Lee was an Original! A Guitar genius! A Master musician! A Great creative force! His work and craft will stand forever. He will never be forgotten. But, as God is my witness, I tell you this: Joe Gooch could cut heads with him any day of the week and come out on top EVERY TIME! If you missed Alvin in the band, too bad! He ain't coming back! But, if you call yourself a guitar fan and you don't catch this 'guitar man' in this original unit (w. Leo, Chick and Ric) soon, you will have missed one of the greatest blues/rock experiences, EVER! HE IS AND THEY ARE THAT GOOD... AND GETTING BETTER EVERY DAY!!! The next place I'll be looking to catch their act is at 'The Garden' when they come back next Spring! YOU BETTER BE THERE! For now, it's thanks for the memories of this 'mini-tour', from a new 'True believer'! TEN YEARS AFTER, FOREVER! €8-.O
