    David passed away two days ago, 3/3/23, taken from us too soon by long Covid and eventual pneumonia and kidney failure. His music-promoter friend Doug Reynolds had organized a T-Shirt sale benefit sale and donation drive through Custom Ink for Dave several months ago to help pay his medical bills. (It just amazes me that we live in the richest country on Earth and yet we can't seem to take care of our own famous musicians as they age without having to set up a go fund me or similar charity event.)

    I saw this when I was a 21 year old junior at the University of Oklahoma. Little did I know that roughly ten years later I would be standing with him at the historic Sons of Hermann Hall (East Dallas, TX) having a Shiner & making small talk. The man is a master of strings.

      It was an NBC show on late Sunday nights. I think it lasted about 2 seasons. The Leonard Cohen "Tower of Song" performance was excellent, also.

      It was called Sunday Night the first season, then Night Music for the second and final season. It was hosted by David Sanborn and Jools Holland. They often paired musicians of different styles with outstanding results. I would love to see all the complete episodes again.

    Man do I love me some Dave! Saw him several times in the 80's with the band. Best was a show at the Red Creek in Rochester, NY. Got there early for some food, and the fellas were doing sound check (nailing "Premature"). Place was near empty, so we got to chatting with everyone - friendly folks all. I even managed to convince Dave himself to accompany us to the trunk of my car, where lay my latest weird guitar find, a Mosrite Ventures model, which he was nice enough to sign, very legibly I might add. If anyone out there sees that guitar, IT'S MINE!!! (grumble grumble) Anyway, it was a fantastic show in a small club setting, with us idiots sitting literally within inches of the stage, ignoring our chicken wings because the music was too good, getting sly looks and even a shout out from Dave... Maybe my favorite night of music ever.

      I saw ElRayo-X 4 times, and at one show was right up against the stage in the shadow of Dave's Supro lap steel, getting my ears blasted from the Dumble amp about 8 feet away. I musta lost some hearing that day, but I'd do it all over again! Also saw David play with Ry Cooder several times, and with percussionists Wally Ingram and Hani Nasser. His music changed the wiring in both my brain and my heart, and I can count the number of musicians who affected me like that on just one hand.

    • @goodun2974
      @goodun2974 Рік тому +2

      In later years, David left the original Weissenborns at home and toured with various copies. I met and spoke with him at a gig where he showed me a Mexican-made Weissenborn clone which he said was "staggeringly good", after some tweaking and experimentation with the string heights at the bridge and nut, and finding which tuning each individual clone sounded best in. I held one in my hands, it was nearly as light as a feather.

    Typically spelled as "Bon Ton Roulet". I 've seen and and heard him play this live, and there are several recorded version on his "official bootleg CDs, but this is my favorite out of all of them. It's just so rhythmic and infectious that the audience starts clapping along halfway through the song. By the way, near as I could tell, the tuning is cgcgce, from low to high. Use heavy strings and tune down to C, don't tune up higher! Good luck trying to duplicate David's hybrid strumming finger-picking style as seen here, whatever you want to call it!
    By the way, on the same TV show episode, Dave also played Werewolves of London, with the house band, and Jorge Calderon on bass; and played electric lap steel behind Curtis Mayfield and Taylor Dayne singing People Get Ready.

      Nice, informative comments. The other performances from the same airing are also on this channel, aside from the Taylor Dayne song [the tape had a major flaw appear on that section, so wasn't good enough to share...]. Thanks!

      Actually, it's spelled differently on almost every recording. The correct spelling in French is Bon Temps Rouler, but Clarence Garlow's original is Bon Ton Roula

      TQ for the guitar tuning.
      Been affected by David since I saw a rerun of Soundstage here in Chicago in/around 78/79.
      Secret fact: I wore a red sweatshirt like Jackson ALL THROUGH H SCHOOL, because I wanted to be like him.
      Now, because of you tube, I’m going to devote some effort to studying David’s style.
