I'll note he's got an earnestness along with a bit of a punk ethos - he does Bowie well. As if it needs to be mentioned, the Bowie catalog is very, very impressive.

MitchW Posted January 12, 2024 Share Posted January 12, 2024 (edited) Michael's voice is so nice. Last night, the inimitable Albert Lee. At the somewhat inimitable Iridium (these old "jazz" clubs are tight). Of course, his guitar playing is simply out of this world. I was surprised at how good his voice still is. His fingers are like twice as long as a regular humans. Edited January 12, 2024 by MitchW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted January 12, 2024 Share Posted January 12, 2024 And I regard that as the new Iridium. I used to go when it was near Lincoln Center. Does anyone want to hear my Les Paul story? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, tell your Les Paul story (though I think you told it on the old MFF)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted January 12, 2024 Share Posted January 12, 2024 I believe so; it was certainly on that short block. Many years ago I had a friend in town from the UK. Looking for something to do, we came across a Les Paul show at Iridium. Why not? Before the set started, my friend and I were standing at the bar when this old guy comes up and tries to start a conversation. Like any cool barflies we basically rebuffed him and his boring questions. He gave up, turned away, walked to the stage and picked up a guitar. We had turned our backs on Les Paul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakeater Posted January 12, 2024 Share Posted January 12, 2024 When I was 14 I was working a Comicon a friend was running. I was in an elevator and in walked this really skeevy-looking man. I edged away from him. It was like he was oozing grease. I later saw him on a panel. It was Jim Steranko. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you but the festival is so much more than just the headliners. On the heritage side there are tremendous acts all day long including brass bands, mardi gras indian bands and so many parades. And of course the food. The jazz piece has gotten weaker but we've seen some amazing acts in the Jazz Tent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell101 Posted January 18, 2024 Share Posted January 18, 2024 With such a stacked lineup I think we’re going to do both weekends this year for the 1st time…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backyardchef Posted January 18, 2024 Share Posted January 18, 2024 It would be worth it for me just to see Leo Nocentelli. But, alas....not likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell101 Posted January 18, 2024 Share Posted January 18, 2024 Last year Leo played Ain’t No Use in the pouring rain and nobody cared they were getting drenched. It was one of the highlights of the weekend for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
