Just been searching through some old photos,and I came up with on of a band I was with in 1968.We were called 'Quadrant',and we did jazzy latin stuff & pops of the day.If you take a look at the photo I posted in my album,I'm playing a Gibson L5 that I had recently purchased.I still have this guitar.I loaned it to Joe Pass for one night to do a seminar in London in th '70's .I was playing it through a 2 x 15" Fender Showman cab,& a 'Bandmaster' head.Instant 'Wes' ! The guy with long hair & his back to the camera was the great country picker Albert Lee.Also on the gig that night were 'Traffic',with Steve Windwood,Jim Capaldi & Dave Mason,Chris Farlow & the Thunderbirds,& the Mike Cotton Blues Band.This took place in the northern U.K. city of Hull.I've talked & gigged with Albert Lee several times since that gig,and I've figured out why he was watching us.At one time,Albert had bought a Gibson Super 400 to gig with,thinking it would do everything.Well,it does the jazz & rockabilly,but he was having difficulty with everything else he had to do.I reckon he thought I'd made the same mistake. I was a mad keen Wes Montgomery fan,having seem him a couple of times in London.He'd brought out the 'Moving Wes' album with a stock L5 on the cover,and I had to have one.It worked very well for me,though the Showman was a bit over the top !
