RIAA Radar result:On Try Me One More Time, Bromberg harkens back to the acoustic folk and blues music of his early days on the mid-’60s Greenwich Village folk scene, a period when he guided the blind gospel-blues singer Reverend Gary Davis to concerts and churches in exchange for guitar lessons. Bromberg performs two of “the Rev’s” compositions on his new CD – “I Belong to the Band”

I recently posted about a David Bromberg show that I enjoyed. I think Bromberg's blues straddle a lot of musical tastes. Anyway, I found this performance which was broadcast 10 days after the show that I saw. Nice to see a totally different set and banter. Here's "Big Road"

I saw David Bromberg last Friday for the first time in 33 years.

It was a wonderful treat.The last time I saw him was in mid-August 1974 at the Atlantic City Steel Pier. He performed in a ballroom/gymnasium without seats. The ballroom was situ...

They understand bright beautiful sunny days in the south of spain, they understand their own saintly intent.Some monsters twist what's beautiful into scars that cannot heal.

Believe it or not, This is good Saturday night music as well. David Bromberg's jaunty little tune starts with some delightful finger-picking and a nice little song that morphs halfway through into....a little dixieland.
