power trio ...














mitch shelly, bass + bob borso, drums + dave smith, guitar ...

of all places - easton again - porter's pub - haven't played with some of these guys in years - they have definately been honing their craft - ass to the wall creative energy and improv skills - can't remember hearing a guitar 'attacked' in that way since i saw mike sterns at 55 grand, or jeff beck, or the 3 string guitarist with miles at the hollywood bowl back in '88
...
incredible talent - perhaps a little less finessed than what i prefer; but when you have as many chops as smith it must be pretty hard to 'contain' yourself ...
