Description
Tom Principato reminisces about Blazing Telecasters and Danny Gatton: By the time this CD is released, it will have been 21 years since Danny Gatton and I did this concert in a series of sporadic appearances around the Washington, DC area which we called Blazing Telecasters. Hard to believe. I had already known Danny for about 10 years at that point, and he was well on his way to establishing himself as not only a dominant force on the Washington, D.C. guitar and music scene, but along with Roy Buchanan was earning a reputation as pretty much one of the two best guitarists D.C. had seen then or since. Our common ground was the love of classic masters of the guitar like Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, Les Paul, and Charlie Christian. Danny and I had already performed numerous shows together in the Washington area by the time we were booked into Adams Rib for the concert on this disc. One of the highlights of the evening was an incredible rendition of Harlem Nocturne; and wouldn't you know it, as Danny reached a point near the end of that song where! the band had stopped and Danny was playing an incredible guitar soliloquy, THE TAPE RAN OUT! Only a few seconds were lost, and most of this amazing performance was saved. So here is Blazing Telecasters Vol. 2. A musical and personal milestone for me and a small part of the legacy of one of the greatest guitarists that ever lived, who I had the incredible good fortune to know, learn from, and play and share music with, Danny Gatton.
