I just played the same guitar at GC yesterday. Too bad I couldn't sound 10% as good as David.

I've loved his music for 40 years.

I remember Dave Bromberg from the Gaslight days in the late '60's, early 1970's... he was a great player then and is now, too! Hello Dave from Katie and Sandi...

Nice to see Bromberg is still around. Back in the early 70's Bromberg was required listening for any aspiring guitarist.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You !!! This one has been on the "woodshed" list since about 1980...but the version on "My Own House" was always too daunting to tackle...with the 12-string, the speed, the diminished chords, etc....Thanks for posting it.

This is beautiful, but its Bromberg channeling the Reverend playing Luke Jordan/Dick Justice. Very cool, but Jordan/Justice played it differently. Not that it's wrong, or has to be played only one way, but not everything has to be played in the Reverend Gary Davis style. Quite honestly there are beautiful subtleties in how Jordan and Justice played it that get lost here. Example, there is a C-Em-Am-C run ("around the back door...") that Justice plays that is elegant in its simplicity.
