Wow! What a line-up...

...Thanks for posting this.

nice! I wish my unemployment came this week

update:

Are you ready to RUMBLE? The 4th annual 13 GUITAR RUMBLE - THE LINK WRAY TRIBUTE
will take place this Thursday evening at 9:30 at the Redwood Bar & Grill in
beautiful downtown Los Angeles. Come out and join some of L.A.'s hottest pickers
in celebrating the music and life of one of rock and roll's true pioneers.

Lincoln Wray had the unique distinction of having the only instrumental banned
from radio (Rumble!) and played power chords with the big beat before anyone else
even thought about it - he was also a killer rockabilly player.
After everyone puts their own twist on their fave LW songs all 13 guitars will
join together to play "Rumble" at one time - we might just bust the Richter
scale WIDE OPEN!

In addition, Eric Moore is flying in from Cleveland to help out with his
petition to induct Link Wray into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame project. If you
can't make this show please go to Eric's site and sign the petition!

Jeff(btd)

we stick 4 people in a cab... from TV to 3rdSt

Right behind the building is a lot that costs 5 bucks.

Rick Holmstrom is a monster of fat hollow body guitar tone mixing hip-hop with blues. He played with Rod Piazza & The Mighty Flyers + some solo stuff and much more. Can't make this show but this line up is a must see!

the Highlight of the Night was seeing Crazy Al strutting around like a Rooster during "Run Chicken Run"
and the dancing like a wild man with Dave arnson of the Insect Surfers.

good times,
great show,
fair turn out of about 50 or so people.
wish more friends came out for this.

dragging my ass all day today,
but it was worth it and I'd do it again.
