The more I watch these, the more I wish I had turned a camera on and just left it on while walking around. As I think back over the sheer number of guitar players in the room I wish I had specifically collected riffs from the aisles. There were so many good players there among the collected group of music store owners, teachers and folks that had some connection that got them a pass into the joint. The press alone was quite a group. Sitting around in the press room yackin’ with folks you find most of them play an instrument or sing and it is their love of music that got them their “beat.”

Being barefoot all the time makes it really easy to start conversations with folks. They all want to know if my feet are cold. People in wheelchairs get really nervous around me. Getting to talk to all of the nutty musicians and press folks at Winter NAMM has convinced me that, at all cost, no matter what, I want to be at Summer NAMM and, by Clapton, I will leave a camera running when I walk around!
Now then, here’s Tasty Riffs #4 featuring: Mark Goffeney, HeXx Henderson, Cameron Sass, USAF Mobility Band, Frank Catfish Butler, Jorma Kaukonen, David Koltai, Carol Kaye, George Moore, Cisco Robles, Anton Oparin and, in a BareFootMusicNews Exclusive, me, Dan Grigor, playing the $109,999 Martin D-100 Deluxe.
