Sometimes it's not about speed. Sometimes it is!
Saturday night at the Narrows, fleet-fingered electric bluesman Coco Montoya gave the testosterone-brimming packed house its money's worth. It was his debut at the Narrows.
Backed by a tight band consisting of keyboards, drums and bass, Coco also exhibited excellent dynamics--alternating between quiet and commanding, slow and speedy. Unlike some blues players, he seemed to see songs as songs, rather than as an excuse for a raved-up guitar jam.
No doubt we'll try to bring Coco back again as soon as possible. Below, super volunteer Herb Tracy, left, poses with Coco during the intermission as Herb sold the CDs and Coco signed 'em. A dynamic duo!
