you all probably dont give a damn but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the account password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
@Bishop Garrett Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Beautiful the charming old master showing he still has it and his son paying tribute to the dad that taught him everything he knew, humourous,loving, brings a smile or a tear.
one of the best performances by one of the best there absolutely was. every song or video nearly brings me to tears now!! rip bucky pizzarelli never will be another.
And to think; Bucky didn't want his son to have a guitar!!! John says he had his very first guitar hidden under his bed because dad just didn't want him to have one. It was a Fender Strat so maybe that says something about youthful rebellion. Who cares now because it's just wonderful to see and hear them together. Has there ever been a father and son team that could top these two?
I think the story was that his dad was being frugal - didn't want John to *buy* a guitar because they already had so many around the house. He got the strat because "the D'Angelico with the De Armond pickup didn't work for the band he was in". Had no problem with John *having* a guitar and playing it - encouraged it, even.
An incredible “feel good” moment for me! Great performance by Bucky and John (& Friends)! The Love of performing between Dad & Son brought back memories for me of Flyfishing in Saddle River by Grassyforks fishery over 60 years ago with my Dad! RIP Bucky and Thank you for sharing, John.
I am a drummer and singer/ bandleader. A few years ago I did a show with Bucky and his guitar partner Ed Laub (also an excellent guitarist). We did Bucky's arrangement of "Sing Sing Sing." It was a lot of fun, and a wonderful honor for me. They are tremendous musicians.
i like many styles of music but this is true quality no computer enhanced sound just talent but what a great combination of old and young,the timing these two have is special
My brother I and have both been fans of Pizzarelli music for a long time, first through John Jr., but we were blessed to see Bucky and John play together in St. Louis twice. Both times it was just the two men and two guitars, no band. Once in the early 2000’s at the hotel restaurant at the Holiday Inn Southwest-Viking; the other time was about 15 years later at Jazz St. Louis in the old building, before they remodeled and expanded. Both times we sat so close to the stage we could have reached out and touched them. Both times the entire room was quietly mesmerized whenever the music was playing. Their technical facility is indeed stunning, but the truly impressive thing was that they always made it serve their true joy in playing, which would then spread to whoever was listening. Aside from all this, a couple years ago my brother and I lost our dad. It’s still a fresh enough memory that I can honestly say I understand a bit of how the Pizzarelli family must be feeling at this time. I’m sorry for their loss personally, and for all of us musically.
John announced that his mom passed a week after on this week's Radio Deluxe show. Last week's show was dedicated to Bucky and this week's to his mother, Ruth Pizzarelli.
Fabulous! They are great together (and separately)! I have been reading John Pizzarelli's book "World on a String. It's a very well written book and most enjoyable. Live and play long!
I know what you mean. In the early '80s, a buddy and I went to hear him at the Pierre hotel in NYC. We stood out from the crowd since we were the only two chaps who actively listened to his unique playing. At the break, he came to have his espresso with us. Can't imagine a nicer gentleman. Or a more phenomenal guitarist.
Thank you so much for sharing these excellent artists, I thoroughly enjoyed these moments. A rainy and chilly English morning has been brightened by their presence. Look forward to the next one.
I have great respect for Bucky and John! Love whatever they do( and they over everything)I have all their recordings and they are both especially great rhythm guitarists, hence their feel for playing tight!Got the Gretsch 7 in early 70s and use it a lot.with my guitar duo.Saw John at Birdland last month Wonderful evening.This recording is the ultimate father and son togetherness personally and musically. You only need to. watch Bucky’ s face….. Keep carrying the flame John….
my friend and i saw bucky by himself at the king of france tavern in annapolis, MD nearly 40 years ago. my friend and i are both guitar players and we sat up front. it was him and his gretsch. that was it. stunning. after the gig; he indulged us and let us play his 7-string and was nothing short of gracious and generous. will always remember his kindness. i still have my george van eps (single pickup), which i bought about a week later. long after he's gone, bucky pizzarelli will be remembered as a singular great in jazz. and his kid isn't far behind.
It's funny... I see the same expression on Bucky's face years later in another youtube video (If I Had You with Tony Emmanual amd friends) but just noticed it tonight. Toward the end of his first solo in this tune.
I bought Bucky's records with George Barnes at Town Hall Concerts in the 60s and a CD of John the Beatles one in the 90s. Different approaches to the guitar but both fun.
First: Les Paul and now Pizarelli. Modern music doesn't know what it's losing even when it's lost. Instrumental is also becoming far more undervalued by the dozen....
