Roots guitar master Beppe Gambetta, from Italy, charmed the crowd at the Narrows Friday night, making his first appearance ever.He described himself as a "Led Zeppelin" boy when he was growing up, until he heard his first Doc Watson album. From there it was roots all the way, including Woody Guthrie, Norman Blake and Leo Kottke.
By the way, not only was he a master of his instrument, he was amusing! His cover of Guthrie's "Hard Travelin' " in his version of an American accent was funny in a warm, understated way.
If you missed him, hope you'll try to see him next time around.
