Fred_C Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 They are showing the movie The Honeydripper with Danny Glover as Pinetop Perkins, the famous blues piano player and features Gary Clark, Jr., who is the featured artist in this month's GP. A good movie about a failing juke joint in the 1940-50's south. G. Clark, Jr. Plays the young guitar player who saves the joint from the antagonists who want to take ownership of the struggling bar. G. Clark's playing is appropriately sloppy with a lot of grease under it (I can remember my teacher, Jerry Ricks yelling at me that "You play too white! It's too clean! You gotta' put some grease under it!"). I liked it and recommend the film highly. If you play cool, you are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitefang Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I saw this movie, Fred. It IS pretty good. Takes a while to get around to anything musical, but storywise it keeps you there. White(and greaseless)fang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White(and greaseless)fang Hey Whitefang, Yeah, I agree. There was very little music. RE: "greaseless" You're a singer songwriter type aren't you? If so, You want that "clean as country water"* sound, don't you? * Nashville Cats -Lovin Spoonful If you play cool, you are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
