Mr Info Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Just two nights ago, Roger Waters joined GE Smith for a blues tune at The Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett NY to celebrate GE's birthday:
The Poojer Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 GE Smith is on Water's The Wall tour in case you didn't know.
Mr Info Posted August 25, 2012 Author Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) GE Smith is on Water's The Wall tour in case you didn't know. Correct I have seen the performance twice. That is an anecdote that I forgot to include. If I had not taken the handle Mr Info, I might have selected Mr. Floyd as I am an uber fan. I have shared my rare Floyd outtakes, curios, and bootlegs with TBD memebers. For you Floyd fanatics - head over to http://www.yeeshkul.com/. I am a contributing member there. The site name has an interesting origin that you can find there. Edited August 25, 2012 by Mr Info

Best Player Available Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 I saw the philly show and was blown away...was pleasantly surprised to see GE up on stage GE is a guy who somehow too me anyhow has flown under the radar. I was pissed when SNL canned him. BTW, his instrument collection is epic. A few years back he did a quick tour with Jorma Kaukonen, at first I was a little disaapointed because they were playing acoustic only. After awhile I realized GE can simply play any style known to man. His knowledge of obscure blues tunes and being able to tell thier story is simply amazing. GE can plug into any guitarists sound, etc. on the planet. And In some cases play it better. Certainly Waters was well aware of that when he hired him.
