I own 300 shares, time to buy some more!

Oh wait, wrong thread. :D

Saw Quinn with Buddy Guy and Jonny Lang.

Quinn is technically gifted, but his playing is soulless. And he can't sing. It was hard seeing him on the stage with Buddy Guy who is such a charismatic player. And it was cruel having him follow Jonny Lang who has staggering talent and puts more blues into a note than Quinn can put into a set.

He'll have a great career as a studio musician. Solo?... Yawn.

He's 14 years old. Kinda hard to play the blues when yuo ain't lived em yet.

Not for Jonny Lang. He released his first album, Smokin' at age 14. Lie to Me at age 15.
Quinn isn't in the same league.

Quinn developing into an artist with his own style.
About time, he's almost 15.

Recent Leno appearance, a song off his 2nd album.

Hopefully Quinn will be able to avoid that grunge path.
When Lang was 19 he was born again in rehab after a long bout with drug and alcohol abuse that nearly killed him.

Quinn is growing up, developing, has learned the key blues word, subtle. And has learned to share the stage.

impressive. My favorite part starts around 17 minutes.

It's been fun watching this kid grow up.

he's singing a lot better now that his voice has changed. He's still a guitar player tho.

Quinn is boring. Yes, impressive for his age. But take away that, suppose he's a 25 y/o guy, and he wouldn't be remarkable. There are many good guitar players out there. Studio player is right.

The other guy, Lang, to be honest I thought in the video he spent more time playing with his hair than playing his guitar, but clearly more emotion than the studio player.

he looks boring in Sammy's vids because he's surrounded by a bunch of old man studio musicians with no soul. typical of the modern blues scene. blech.

it is awkward to watch but that's the crowd he's being marketed to.

I mean 'Blue Moon' beer? my goodness how sterile and soulless can you get? would be tough for anyone to bring life to such a setting.

Still playing ...

I saw Johhny Lang when he was 16 (I think)...opening for BB and Robert Cray.... it was all about his hair then too....LOL. That said....I saw Derek Trucks (and wife) two summers ago....thirty years after the first time. An unbelievable show and his playing is now up there with the best I've ever seen live...bar none. And just a nice guy too :)

Been a while since I had seen an "Onlycafe" thread. Sincerely hope he is doing OK.
