MUSINGS & RAMBLINGS

As I hit Geyserville on the N 101, it came on- Dave Workman backing Albert King on "Born Under A bad Sign".
I was so excited to hear this again!
Then came on a few others I had taken from his MP3 page.
Aaaah geeze...can he play!!!

I remember now why I copied them although the recording quality sucked because of my computer at that time. I remember just feeling lucky to be able to get them to Cd format.

I remember going to his shows he has at the Saloon every other Saturday afternoon just to hear that guitar of his. Well worth the hassles of the weekend city hoopla.
I remember wanting and wishing he had a cd of his own stuff. Then out came John "Broadway" Tucker's new cd "Impromptu Blue" and I was very excited about that!
Dave would back him on this release.
Sure, it's great and all but it didn't feature any of that Workman guitar I was so wanting on cd. Although some fine backing, I was wanting that rippin' Workman. If you know of and heard him before, you know the guitar I'm talking about.
It screams out at ya. It makes you listen.
I got some of it at his Guitar Show he had a couple weeks back. It's the kind of playing that makes your hair stand up on the back of your neck. Me....I get "goose pimples on my goose pimples" when I hear it!
(I think that was Katie Webster I got that from)

So, that was cool. It made me miss those Saturday afternoons with Workman/Broadway shows. And the stories John "Broadway" Tucker would share during break were the best.
I enjoy stories just not too much on stage.

So, here I am, once again, wanting Dave Workman to put something of his own together. It is loooong overdue. Something with just his guitar works on it. Something that's features just his playing backed by a band of course but just don't be too generous to others ;-)

Sure, playing with Wendy DeWitt is something to behold but he's a bit more tame with her as well he should be. You don't want to drown out Wendy. The two of them together is beautiful and they go together wonderfully. He really plays much more gentler with her. I would love to have something where he just cuts loose and gets wild again! Tweak my eardrums, make my eyes pop out, and give me goose pimples on my goose pimples!
Maybe a cd that's a mix of both of them but mostly that rippin' Workman stuff. I love all his styles, Albert King, Carlos, whatever he wants, just play.

If you haven't, go there and take a listen.
I mean to his shows and his site.

Click on "What's new" and there they are.
They are not on the "Audio" page so don't look for them there.

Later,
