I just went to David Bromberg’s retirement concert

[Nitwit]

I didn’t know ahead of time but he announced that this was his last concert. He performed with his quintet and put on a magnificent show. I’ve been seeing him for 50 some years - too many times to count. He’s still terrific. It was sad to see it end. He must be close to 80 now but his voice is clear as a bell and his guitar playing is pristine. The supporting musicians were superb. The show was at the New Hope Winery, and I was happy to have front row seats for this historic event.

Saw Dave in Gettysburg circa 1973
My favorite song

 

[Tom McAndrew]

He must be close to 80 now

he's 77 -- he'll turn 78 in September

It’s like picking out your favorite kid, but Statesboro Blues is at the top of my list:

 

[BVSt.Paul]

He’s one of my musical heroes. Glad I got to see him last year in Minneapolis. First Bromberg concert - Marywood College in Scranton in 75.

Always thought it was cool he did this song with George Harrison on slide

Grab a beer and cigar at havanas I hope. Love that town
