We went to see Billy Hector play last night, a New Jersey blues guitar legend. His guitar-playing is out of this world, and his guitar was vintage, battered, well-used, gorgeous. His playing ranges from dreamy, his fingers sliding up and down the strings in great swoons of sound, to rough and hard and aggressive, almost metal. However you describe it, it’s rock ‘n’ roll. He did a version of Vince Guaraldi’s Peanuts Christmas Dance song that was to die for! People dancing, having a great time. It was a hell of a show.
