Location: south east Michigan | He'll be up here the weekend before.
My local music store rents a small venue and brings him up each year for their anniversry celebration.
I can appreciate the Dykes/DiMeola style but I don't know if I could sit for an entire show.
Now Tommy Emmanuel??? Maybe. |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | I've seen Doyle a couple times. It's really not too hard to manage sitting through his concert...he's just mesmerizing. It's amazing to hear a small-body guitar sound like a whole orchestra.
And he makes it look so easy... |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | And that music store is just down the street from where I used to live. That was back in the early 70's, and when I looked it up on Google Earth, I was stunned at how that area has grown. There were nothing but vacant lots between 805 and Kearny Mesa back then. MAN! Am I OLD!!! |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Allison, don't feel bad...the music store in Phoenix where I first saw the Deacon 12 in '75 was in Valley View Mall...I played for the grand opening: it was a nice size mall w/three majors and 30 to 40 stores...it is gone now...talk about feeling old...at least I finally got a '75 SB Deacon 12... :D ;) ...it's like new and takes me back every time I play it...Now, that's cool! |
