This is the full 50 minute concert by Austin guitar greats Kirchen and Volkaert at the 2015 Folk Alliance Music Fair at the Kansas City (MO) Sheraton on 2/20/15
I have been playing guitar for almost 35 years (mostly as a hobby player or in praise band in Church) but I have been around a little. I am primarily a Les Paul devotee and lean more to Jesus Rock / Classic Rock.... I absolutely love these guys and either one of them or both really makes me want to put the Les Pauls away, trade the Mesa Boogie MkIV in for a Fender Twin or Super Reverb, and get my hands on a Telecaster and never look back !
Great playing on the fly, bud. You don't need me to compliment you, but it's easy to see someone who has mastered their craft when they can sit in and play on songs they have never heard just because they can "hear" where the chord progression should go next. Very well done
get a little goner (bill/kirchen) always late with your kisses (redd/lefty frizzell) she's gone, gone, gone (redd/harlen howard/orig rec by frizzell) sleepwalk (santo & johnny) i'm a pilgrim (bill/traditional/orig rec by norfolk jubilee/later rec by merle travis) looking at the world through a windshield (bill/del reeves) home in san antone (redd/bob wills) that's the way love goes (redd/lefty frizell/orig rec by johnny rodriguez/later rec by merle haggard) hot rod lincoln (bill/charlie ryan/later rec by commander cody)
@@SteveRamm Incredible post as well. I met Redd at my cousins wedding in Santa Barbara. They flew the band out from Austin. Redd was delightful! Hippest bumpkin jazzer tele wiz there is! And he's a comedian., and Canadian!..........none the less, the marriage lasted 2 months!
Sensational..legends on stage and there here to perform and entertain the world..rhythem and melody is terrific..
I saw Kirchen years ago do his Hot Rod Lincoln number. I was blown away. Volkaert is just as amazing.
This is what 100 + years of Telecaster experience sounds like, Thank you
Sweet, sweet ear candy. Bam! These three musicians knocked it out of the park. Bassist is awesome. Redd and Bill are guitar greats!
Pure delight. Thanks for the post and thanks to Bill, Redd and Mark for taking the trouble to learn how to do that. Made my day.
That had me smiling all the way through!
Proud to say I met Bill Kirchen and Red Volkaert, in Person .
