Marc Pessar commented on Jim Morrison's blog post 'Magic Moments: A Decade of House Concerts'

Jim, my dear friend, I can not begin to tell you what the North Shore series has meant to me over the years. So many wonderful moments of artistry and fellowship. As you point out there are no venues in our area to hear these artists. Even if there…

Marc Pessar commented on JeffK's blog post 'Eulogy for the CD Store'

Hi JeffK, your post definitely strikes a chord. Your thoughts regarding the impact of technology (iPod) on your listening habits are very interesting. It is my fervent hope that we are not witnessing the demise of the album. Will…

Marc Pessar commented on Holly Gleason's blog post 'Jesse Winchester is Nothin but Wonderful @ Nashville's Belcourt; Man of Many Songs, A True Voice Shines'

Marc Pessar commented on Easy Ed's blog post 'shall we blame it all on garth and walmart?'

Marc Pessar commented on Tom Gray's blog post 'Our Top 10 All-Time Favorite Slide Guitarists'

Lots of good calls here...tough to argue with any of them. One player who deserves more widespread recognition is Spencer Bohren out of New Orleans. He doesn't play a bunch of notes on lap steel but everyone will break your heart. Check out…

Marc Pessar replied to The Muckrakes's discussion 'What's Your Favorite Musical Group from Virginia?' in the group The Old Dominion / Virginia

We certainly are blessed with many wonderful musicians in VA. Asked to choose one group I'd go with Cephas and Wiggins. John was a wonderful guitarist and a great, great singer. Pair him with the virtuosic abilities of Phil Wiggins on harp and…

Marc Pessar commented on PB's blog post 'Guy Clark at the Belcourt (Nashville, TN), 9-23-09'

Peter, thanks very much for the review. Wish I'd been there. I've been fortunate to catch Guy and Verlon in performance on several occasions and have done workshops with both. I feel I have a bit of a special connection to the new album as…

Real nice playing on Special Rider Blues with Phil Wiggins
Though you won't hear any blues on my site, I love that style and have played in a lot of local Boston blues bands.
Keep on pickin' !
