Saturday Matinee – Marcin Patrzalek, Ronnie Wood, and Samantha Fish w/ Jesse Dayton

Polish guitar savant Marcin Patrzalek‘s skills are astounding, combining Spanish flamenco with finger style. Much of his repertoire appears to be classical; this version of Bart Howard’s In Other Words (1954) is a bit lighter.

The 1987 concert was recorded and released the following year as Live At The Ritz. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. “Where’s Bo?” It’s not a Utoobage typo – Bo Diddley shared the stage with Ronnie Wood but sat out this song.

Samantha Fish meets Jesse Dayton – Rockabilly happens with their cover of Brand New Cadillac (Vince Taylor & His Playboys, 1959). Too bad the bass isn’t heavier, but then the Cadillac would belong to Peter Gunn.

Looks like a weekend is happening, so have a great one and we’ll deal with stuff tomorrow.
