It's a classic venue,
I remember just a year ago some guys on the RMMJG newsgroup went to the
Potato on any old night and had a nice surprise when Ted Greene showed up
and sat in. A rare treat indeed, since only one or two recordings of him
have ever been published and none of them are his own titles. Man, we should
all pitch in and buy him Cubase SX3 or something...
Also Holdsworth was just there and man, I wish I could have seen that.
When I lived in LA you could see just about everything... everyone who was
anyone would play in LA soonor or later. Holdsworth lived less than a mile
from me and I'd see him all over the place, the liquor store, the hardware
store the movies... Can you imagine... Holdsworth... just a regular guy? NO
WAY!!!!
Here in Portland Oregon, it's like a no-man's-land for national music. I
am going to see Tuck and Patti at the Aladdin Theater on Monday night.
