Never had the pleasure of meeting him but felt like I knew him .
Several gigs over several years I worked in Jazz Fests had me around
people who had worked and knew him . Once his name was mentioned
smiles always followed .
Once I had been around these influences that knew him I began to take an interest in his
music . The eclectic manner of his song selections showed me the depth of this man being quite
profound . He made me realize I had to maintain the instruments I had already leaned and to
try and incorporate them into a performance . Covering different genres like standards , CW ,
R&B The Blue and it's many permutations was his forte .
Thanks for posting those vids .

Wow Gatemouth sounds great on that track with Roy!!!
Roy on the other hand needs to send that tone back to the factory...
You would think someone doing the sound would have said something like hey Roy your amp is broke!
Always loved Gatemouth. Sounds awesome with Roy

YES
His time and groove is mind numbing!
So perfect!!!
The record Roy and Gatemouth made together called Makin Music is outstanding. This track , ' The Drifter' is one of my favorites.
