This guy just melts me, with his jazz, Blue. plus he's sober, I'm 8 1/2 years sober and I feel more alive then I ever was.a attitude of gratitude love you
My son and I had the opportunity to attend this concert at the B.B. King's Blues Club in Manhattan. Never seen Ronnie playing live before and wow............ What a talent, what a sensitive guitar mastering! Hope that he'll ever be touring through Europe in which case many people would become very happy.
Thanks for sharing another precious gem with the world Ronnie. Your playing has changed my life for the better. Years ago, you along w/ BB were the ones that made me want to pick up my dusty Strat again and start playing. One day at a time, my brother in sobriety.
I recently met Ronnie for the second time. The first time was well before those 25,(now over 26), clean and sober years he refers to. What a difference! The guy's a real mensch.
@Shawn Andrews: he doesn't travel far from New England too much any more, but if he came to California I'd surely travel up to No.Cal! 😊 In a heartbeat.
What a neat guy. I worry if I quit smoking pot and sipping brew I would stop playing guitar. It's strange how I connect the two, getting loaded and playing music. If i'm not stoned I feel the portal to the musical dimension is not open. I admire people like Ronnie Earl, Eric Clapton, and entire bands like Metallica for sobering up and still playing powerful music.
+Abel W I think every person that plays an instrument and utilized Drugs and Alcohol as "instant mood" or as you put it the key to the "Portal" shares your fear on some level. For a long time I thought I played better under the influence, and that may have been true some of the time. But, then I got loaded and proved myself very wrong as I failed to connect Musically with others and became introspective, maybe that Turmoil was my addict self sabotaging the work I had done? I have a few years out of that head space now, and the "mood" is never "instant", but when I do connect, it's palpable. I want to train myself to find that place without D&A, surely that will be as real as it gets... Good Luck..
+Abel W Brother I got high on everything for years and felt like I connected. I was really just lowering my inhibitions and letting me be me. I am straight and sober and life is so much better and real. Just get alone in a dark room and connect you, your heart and your guitar to one another. Begin playing for you, let your soul and your passion come out. It might even change your style who knows, but in the end YOU will shine and you won't be squandering your precious life on D & A. God bless you!
Stevie Ray Vaughan was astonishly better (if you can believe it) when he played his first gig clean and sober. Bonnie Raitt and her friends thought they should give up drinking after seeing his example.
The problem with pot is that everything sounds good and you have no critical facility. I can't do anything effectively after drinking but I guess for the musically able the relaxation of inhibtions may help with playing from night to night. I've seen jazz musicians get better after a few drinks but these were guys who probably felt terrible unless they were drinking.

Ronnie Earl is a miracle to mankind. Tears when he put the hat on the young man's head. What a person to look up to...

Having used it in his early days, Stevie Winwood is adamantly anti-pot, both for the effect on him and what he saw in others.
