@danielmarkoya Happened to read this and noticed who you know! I worked with the Buckinhams drummer during the 70s but that didnt last. I lived in Bellwood during that time. I played guitar just about all the places that Harvey Mandel played even in Calumet City where I would go and jam with the group he was working with. Have not seen Harvey since the 70s until I started using YOU TUBE. Chicago's Rush Street was a neat place and Old Town area. I also played a lot in the suburbs of Melrose Park.
@ aspirepacman1972 and guyglowmore suggest you listen to Harvey's work on Musselwhite's 1st album "Stand Back Here Comes Charlie Musselwhite and the South Side Blues Band" esp. "39th and Indiana", "4p.m.", "Cha Cha the Blues", aw, f**k, just listen to the whole album. it's all on You Tube. And remember, the album came out in 1967! I saw the PFDA in a little club in Berkeley in the early 70's. Believe me, there was NO DOUBT who was the better of the two. W/ Sugarcane and the band smokin'.
@lazur1. I have only recently got to know Sugarcane Harris' music but I was knocked out by Randy Resnick's solos. He had total mastery of the tapping technique with solos which are still striking even today. It's a shame that Mandel gets all the credit while Resnick doesn't.
i can relate to all comments. heard him play at the whiskey with mayall and ch mussel. at the time it seemed like majic. now that i know minor scales and have played in similar bands i realize it was actually a lot simpler than it seemed
good solid backing also nice to an oldie that does not look out of date, still got it and playing great

I lived in Morton Grove and went to school with Nick Fortuna of the Buckinhams who put me in contact with Harvey.
I was 15. My dad arranged for me to go into a bar in Chicago, on Rush Street, where Harvey was playing so I could watch him play.
Harvey took a liking to me and for a season of time came to where I lived once a week to give me guitar lessons:)
It took... I play guitar professionally to this day. Although, I have gravitated to finger pick a classical guitar.
