Hey Ed,
Got your message about your buddy Matt in Ormond Beach. I tried to email you back, maybe the link didnt work. Can you tell me the name of his group if he's currently gigging around town? I googled him and came up with nothing, and checked the Orlando Weekly (our local music paper)
Id be interested in catching a show if he's playing around here.
Thx

Mostly Daytona/New Smyrna Beach/Palm Coast/St.Augustine and other assorted (as he calls them) "witness protection" communities around Central east coast Florida. He freelances mostly, it's not really like he's in a "band".
He does some duo playing (two guitars) with either his former teacher Ted Conner or his buddy Jim Graves. He was doing a trio with a woman singer and this bass player out of St. Augustine named Rusty (played a 5 string EUB), but I know he's kind of bereft of bass players. He's been reduced, on some occasions, to playing a gig with Band in a Box. If you have eyes to do some playing, I'd be happy to forward him your e-mail address, you guys could hook up.
Vis a vis the "karaoke" BinaB gigs - I suggested that he get a copy of MOTION and a copy of Sonny's LIVE AT THE VANGUARD next time somebody asks him to do one of these gigs. That way he just shows up and comps...

Listen and enjoy.  |

Oh, I was looking at the wrong thread, there was something else with 2 files in BG RECORDINGS. The one from the SILLINESS thread again didn't load after about 3 minutes (on a T-1), I ain't looking forward to hearing it that much.
Endearing photo at the site, though.

Clever jab at my name, by the way. That's nice. |
