....and anyone else who MEANS it when they play!
Denny Ilett plays the guitar and has been doing so for enough years that he should know better!
He has a nice album entitled "Callin' the Children home" which is a reference to Buddy Bolden who used to say that to his band after he'd "lured" an audience away from someone else's gig to his own!!
The album reflects a heavy New Orleans influence and is full of nice songs and guitar playing!
You can listen to some of the tracks here and purchase the whole album from Nugene Records or itunes. The album is NOT available as yet on vinyl or cassette or 78rpm record.
