Steve Haynie Posted May 22 Posted May 22 Are humans supposed to be able to play this stuff? If you ever meet Redd Volkaert you will find him to be as nice as he is talented. 6 Quote

Dutchman Posted May 24 Posted May 24 He did a minor midwest tour a few years ago. Just picking up talent locally. My jammin buddy got the nod playing bass at one of these gigs. As did @JGravelin. I got to hang out at my buddys show. Just a funny sweet heart of a guy. Tons of storys! 6 Quote
JGravelin Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Ha! YES! Redd is a monster freak player but also a genuinely nice person. I did play with him not long ago on a Redd and Bill Kirchen duo run, and it was so fun! I've known both of them since 1999 or so, we all go way back from my Austin TX days, and it was a blast! Redd is a gem of a human being. Nice to see you two together man! 7 1 Quote
JGravelin Posted May 24 Posted May 24 (edited) Remembering my days 1995-2010 in Austin.. Redd showed up and sat in with other bands I played in: Guy Forsyth Band and also with songwriter/engineer/producer whiz Mark Addison band MAD6 that he tapped me for. The coolest thing about Redd is that he could hop up with anyone, huge f'ing ears on listen and just REACT in a musical way .. no hesitation at all, just a human - a musician - playing guitar like it was an extra arm that he'd been using his whole life. What a pro. What a good dude. Super Pro Bro pal. Bill was a regular visitor at the guitar shop I worked at: South Austin Music. We became friendly, shared laughs, and it was such a cool thing to finally play together on that Redd/Bill run! Also, because I sing the high stuff so good - I surprised him, learned all those bits for his songs, and put it forth. With Redds too but Bill was like "woah, wow!

DaveH Posted May 25 Posted May 25 (edited) That vid led me to another... The guy is a total monster! That Cindy Cashdollar ain't no joke either! Edited May 25 by DaveH 5 1 Quote
Brooks Posted May 25 Posted May 25 "I don't know what that is, but it works". That's how I explain half of my licks too, not that I'm anywhere near Redds level. 4 Quote
