Tom Paley's Old Time Moonshine Revue Pt.3 World Unlimited bringing another legend to the Hare & Hounds (this Sunday Sept 23rd), Tom is 84 years young, if you are not sure how much of a legend he is read this :>) 'Tom tells of his impact on two other icons of American music in equally self-effacing style: “I was playing out at the Ash Grove in Los Angeles and...this young fellow came along and said he’d like to have some lessons in playing the blues, and although I wasn’t really a specialist in the blues...anyway, it was Ry Cooder, so I gave him a few lessons.” Ry introduced Tom to another young and up and coming folky: “One time he brought Jerry Garcia along and he wanted some lessons on the banjo...”. Ry later admitted that the banjo chords he’d watched Tom teaching Jerry formed the basis of his open tuning guitar playing.' I saw him last weekend and he was superb, thanks Graham
