Thread Name: Davey Graham: what a waste
Subject: RE: Davey Graham: what a waste
Well said Dave. I went to see the Davy, Smith, Pavey concert. The last one in the tour. I couldn't have loved it more. Did i go there expecting to see the Davy Graham that i listen to on the 60's albumns??? No! I expected to see how he has developed now and what he is playing.
If you haters on here think about the fact he is playing for you after so many years of being on the road etc you would be as happy as i was being in the same room. The minute he played a blues song with his reminicant licks of wierd tunings and great blues progressions my face lit up and i was in my element. Yes, he made some mistakes, and yes he may have been drinking. But he was by no means a shambles. I loved his set, and you idiots who have the balls to criticize him obviously have no brains to match and no appreciation for a great musician, Would you expect your grandad to be able to run a 100m sprint as fast as when he was 20?
   Long live Davy Graham!
