Charlie Baty:

[Dark Star]

I know he is having way too much fun to be a real jazz musician, but are there any fans of his here?

[MackBolan]

I"ve heard that he"s retired from touring,put away his electric guitars and
does some local gigs with an Django/Selmer accoustic guitar.
I really enjoyed his lessons on youtube with the blonde Gibson hollow-body
guitar,great on learning chords in context.

I really like Little Charlie
Great player !!!

[Jon S]

I really like his playing to. I had also heard that he retired and doesn't play as much any more which is a shame. Great player indeed!

Hey Mack- I saw those videos as well & they gave me some ideas. He definitely has a lot to say about applying bebop concepts to a 12 bar blues. Lots of cool chord subs & stuff. Too bad the poor quality of the recording.
I've seen him & The Nightcats before & was just blown away. Between Rick & Charlie they probably went through a pound of pomade in a weekend, lol
Wicked sense of humor also, & they harken back to a time when it was as important to look sharp as well as to sound sharp.

I remember boing at some free concert in the park here one time and those guys were playing. I remember thinking "oh great, another crappy blues band"... Boy was I wrong. Ended up having to pick my jaw up off the floor. Just goes to show you should always keep an open mind.
