I just recalled seeing and hearing Van Dyke Parks and his small orchestra in the concert room located in McCabe's Guitar Shop on Santa Monica Blvd. A once-in-a-lifetime experience! One of the musical geniuses of our lifetimes.
Then there was hearing Jimmie Dale Gilmore in the 90's---just he and his acoustic guitar---in a conference room at his record company distributor's office in Burbank. A very intimate performance by a very unique, very special artist. He and his Flatlanders partners (Joe Ely and Butch Hancock) have a new album out.
@bdp24, Yeah you probably realize it but McCabe's Guitar shop is on Pico Blvd., not Santa Monica. I was a true regular there. Saw many acts, and spent more hours than I should taking Martin Guitars off the wall and playing 'em.
