Guitar Shorty
January 14, 2012
I do love the Palms.
Electric blues guitar falls into the right-place-right-time category for me, music I thoroughly enjoy live, in a funky venue, but which I probably wouldn’t listen to while writing or driving or whatever. Last night, Guitar Shorty, upstairs in the old opera house in downtown Winters, drinking beer and rocking out? Super fun.
Guitar Shorty, a 70-something guy, brother-in-law to Jimi Hendrix (yes, really), is the kind of guy who plays the guitar with his tongue, wanders through the crowd, jumps up and down (a bit stressful to watch), and has a great blues voice. Guitar people say he’s pretty good, not genius like his brother-in-law, but damn good.
Nice to be in Winters and show Jay a good ol’ time.

How fun! I’m with you, don’t choose to listen to Blues on my own, but enjoy it ok live. Which is funny ’cause my fav band of all time is Led Zeppelin and they are very blues based. Go figure!
