Subject: RE: For Fraser and DeBolt Fans
I got to play there for several weeks with Sue Lothrop, Jesse Wnchester and Bill Martucci. The only time I met the McGerrigle sisters. Everybody in town was coming to see Jesse. He was and continues to be truly great ! Thin-line archtop jazz Gibson guitar and a vintage amp. Sue and I did Buffy Ste Marie's little Wheel Spin and Spin and Jesse would weave his Black Dog Magic. A real high point. The owner's name was Philip Carrie sp?, a prominent Greek businessman who gave me important support at the beginning. There I first saw the Stormy Clovers with Susan Janes and they influenced me forever. At one point on the first gig there with Sue, he asked me if I could please speak to the back-up guitarist (Jesse) to see if he could maybe wear a jacket and put on a tie. Thankfully, Jesse was graceful and showed up the next night with a large silk bowscarf. You should have heard Jesse playing Tim Hardin's Misty Roses in the dressing room. God is good.
