March 3rd: There was fire on stage and no one wanted to put it out. Guitar Shorty burned red-hot with his four-piece band and never cooled down.
His first set destroyed any thoughts of Jimi, Stevie, and Muddy from memory. With a rack of G&L guitars and one MusicMan given to him on his birthday by Leo Fender, Shorty made friends with everyone. He played from the stage, the dance floor, and the parking lot.
While a fantastic show, there was a bit of excessive guitar jamming and Hendrix style distortion. But Shorty and Jimi were friends and played together. It was Shorty's tribute to his pal -- and he did it well!
