My brother John & I have been at this music thing for a minute. We owe a lot to our jazz singer mom, Rosemary Conte who encouraged us, bought us instruments & lessons and trained us to play in her band. This photo is from an early pre-teen performance in NJ, playing Dylan, Beatles & Creedence.

For me, this has one of the greatest moments in rock n roll guitar solos; it starts at 1:06, but check out the way he flips the rhythm at 1:12. What feel! I listened to that over & over as a kid. And of course that very last lick at 1:16 which is pure Charlie Christian. youtu.be/RMkIK0qZnjw?...

Sadly true. Being an asshole, a fuck up, a psycho or an addict gets musicians/singers more notice than being a nice guy. Fats Domino succeeded despite his sweetness but others haven’t been so lucky… #NiceGuysFinishedLast #FatsDomino #anypressisgoodpress #RocknRoll #TheHistoryOfRockMusic

“In the early 1960s, the great jazz bass player Charles Mingus was asked why, if he was so angry at white people, he played with Charlie Mariano. Mingus looked surprised and said ‘Charlie’s not white, he’s Italian!’” Love this quote - from my fave music podcast podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...
