I remember see him "sittin' in" with Mike Bloomfield, Harvey Brooks, and Buddy Miles, during one of the Electric Flag concerts in NY back in the 60's. He was a wonderful blues guitarist. He and Bloomfield could do some bitchin' counter point.


60's! How the hell did I remember that?!?!

He was a guitar playin ****. RIP.

He was schedualed to play here by me in a few months. Too bad, the guy at least left a great song that will live forever.

Correction. I am so sorry, It was Dobie Gray. Please accept my apologies. I heard the death announced on the radio and got the name wrong. Again I apologize.

What is funny is that the first time I heard Dobie Gray I was a little kid (about 6 years old) at Norveninch AB in Germany. Then when Uncle Cracker did the re-boot/duet with Dobie Gray, my older daughter really liked it and she looked him up on YouTube.
