Thanks for the link Chris! I used to tape his stuff in the 80s on vhs every time he was on tv. NightFlight and all the other old shows, I still have a ton of video tapes in my garage. Mostly tapes of Les and Mary doing oldies, but sometimes would catch a real gem! Always loved when he would play with Chet. True masters of their craft.

Larry is so good. Damn! He can play the most difficult jazz standards. When I first heard of him, he threw me off. I did not realize that he's actually a guitar master. I love his blues playing too. He actually learned a lot from the great late BB KING who took Larry under his wing and taught how to play real blues.
