Buried Alive in the Blues
Big Dave
This is a program all about big-bodied jazz guitars used in many different contexts. It's inspired by the musicianship and joy of my old friend Jeff Felcher, who left us a few years ago. Jeff decided to sell me the guitar that had been his #1 for many years, a modified 1961 Guild X-500 that he'd played for 30 years. I picked it up yesterday and was filled with memories of Jeff, his musicanship, and his friendship. This morning is a tribute to him. Pictured: Jeff and the guitar.
