David Bromberg -- Any fans?


I still play Bromberg albums. Never got to see him live. He got lost in the embarrassment of riches we failed to appreciate back when we had it. There were so many great acts in the late 60s and early 70s that people like David Bromberg, who would be cherished today, had only niche followings back then.

I just picked up this vinyl Album for .77 cents. This album is closer to a demonstration LP for sound quality alone, except that the music, playing and songs are just flat out great. Happy I stumbled across this gem of an album. I will be looking out for any vinyl albums David Bromberg put out "back in the day".
I saw him twice recently at a local theater 200 seats and we had front row. He is great live. I had more than a few lps in the 70s and always enjoyed his music. Try to get to a show if you can. Best
He and Ry Cooder got me through the second half of the 70's. I still have many LP's. Saw him live at the Armadillo World Headquarters in Ausin in '78. Fantastic band, great show.
A good friend is a close friend of David Bromberg, but thus far I have only met his wife and haven't been able to see him live (the ticket prices for his recent Chicago show were really high).
I saw him too many times to count in the seventies.
That band was on fire !!!
The versatility was amazing.
As a matter of fact, I started playing banjo because of seeing Dick Fegy with the Bromberg band.
