Ok, I have a treat for you jazz lovers out there. Give a listen to this - Rob Gourlay, who grew up in St. Johnsbury and played with Bob (Dimick) in the Tank Band - doing a concert at Berkley School of Music in Boston. Then check out this unusual technique Rob demonstrates - in what looks like a practice session perhaps with students. There are lots more clips of Rob - check them out.
We saw Rob at the Tank reunion benefit gig this spring, but until we were talking with Jamie tonight, had no idea what a professional Rob has become. No surprise, though, he was always a great guitar player. His older brother, Gordy, played drums with the Tank Band. It is so great for me to hear that Rob is doing so well and still making music. Too often life gets in the way of aspirations and we don't get to do what we love, but not so with Rob.
