David Bromberg -- Any fans?

I still play Bromberg albums. Never got to see him live. He got lost in the embarrassment of riches we failed to appreciate back when we had it. There were so many great acts in the late 60s and early 70s that people like David Bromberg, who would be cherished today, had only niche followings back then.

A good friend is a close friend of David Bromberg, but thus far I have only met his wife and haven't been able to see him live (the ticket prices for his recent Chicago show were really high).

I saw him too many times to count in the seventies.
That band was on fire !!!
The versatility was amazing.
As a matter of fact, I started playing banjo because of seeing Dick Fegy with the Bromberg band.

I saw Bromberg about 5 years ago and it was a great show. I believe he's making violins in Delaware.

He lives in Wilmington Delaware and deals in violins mostly high end. I believe he also repairs them. My father in law sold him two he inherited from an uncle in NYC. He released a few new CDs in the last 5 years which I have and like. He does lots of bluegrass music shows these days. I would love to see him but he is never playing when we are there during the holidays.
