I met Carlos Guitarlos in Haight Ashbury San Francisco in 1997. I was walking down the sidewalk past the *many* street musicians, some better than others but mostly mediocre. I passed Carlos playing a Fender Strat through a battery powered amp and didn't pay him much attention until I crossed the street and suddenly his playing hit me. He was doing a train whistle on his guitar with bends and volume swells in the middle of his song. It stopped me cold, I turned around, went back and stood and listened to him play for over 30-45 minutes. We talked about guitars and music for awhile and he kept playing. I must have dropped over $20+ in his guitar case as I stood there listening to him. He mentioned a lot of names of people he knew, from Flea of the RHCP to John Lee Hooker to Fabio. He had a piece of paper that he claimed had a bunch of celebrity phone numbers on it. Finally, I had to leave to meet some friends and reluctantly bid him farewell. I never heard of him or saw him again until just now. It's good to know he is still around and still playing and is selling CDs from his website. Listening to him talk here reminds me of listening to him back then. What a cool dude.

Barry Soetoro It said the same thing as when I played Stairway to Heaven backwards when I was a teen and broke my stylus on my record player "Here's to my sweet Satan". I'm going to Clarksville tonight, gotta date with a thunderstorm....
The first song definetly blew me away. The country side of Carlos needless to say. Definetly had a Travis Tritt feel to it. Second song you can’t help but have that Robert Johnson feel, damn he’s fantastic.
Guess where I'm spending some paycheck tomorrow morning!?! Sending respect and love for the one, the only Carlos Guitarlos!! All the way from a wee town in the slightly northwest of Alberta, Canada!!
