      If you like Autumn Leaves, look up Eva Cassidy, she sings an awesome version of the song. This guy, Rory Hoffman is nothing short of amazing.

    Absolutely brilliant mate. Apparently this bloody 20/20 vision has been holding me back all these years. I AM a jazz fan and that was excellent. I remember going to watch Jeff Healey in Portsmouth in about 1990 ,another blind guy that brought the house down. Lots of Hells Angels. Can you see the light caused mayhem.

      Jeff isnt blind. He is legally blind. I saw him hold up a little spanish instrument made of armadillo shell close to his eyes and examine it. I am a musician who was around a lot of big names in Toronto 20ish years ago, admittedly his talent is big, but I was kinda like hmmmm🤔 he can see?

    I've been one of the lucky ones to sit in a room with Rory and watch him go about his business as only he can on a variety of all styles of music. Seeing is believing , but its really all about what our ears transmit to our hearts and souls.

    We have the pleasure of seeing Rory appearing with The Carolyn Martin Swing Band each October at the Sun Valley Jazz and Music Festival. Just a phenomenal player, great singer, and a really great guy. We attended his presentation on jazz accordion, and I vowed never to tell another accordion player joke. As their steel player Mike Sweeney says “Rory is a freak of nature”

    Just a little while ago I heard Rory Hoffman for the first time during a 2014 Guitar Town jam session that was recently uploaded by a channel that I subscribe to (O'Brien Guitars). I was astounded by his superb playing & unique style. Every once in awhile someone likes Rory comes along & not only bats it out of the park but out into the Universe. I was shocked to find out that there was no Wikipedia page for Rory Hoffman so someone needs to create one for him ASAP.

    There's more Rory to hear at the final 2015 Fishstock concert 09-06-15, being uploaded now, in 2 parts. "I should be fishing" isn't one of the songs that were played, but there are many other good ones. Rory played his finest, on guitar, mandolin, clarinet, mouth harp, and accordion! What's not to like?

      Jules Ken That title doesn't sound familiar, so I doubt that I have a recording of it. But everything I have recorded of Rory's is available online. I just recorded a Carolyn Martin concert with Rory on 07-03-15 (2 parts), and it might be part of that concert, as they didn't announce each song by title. ua-cam.com/video/e-KNCtRKq2o/v-deo.html
