Simon
Simon Chardiet is a fantastic guitar player
I mentioned Simon a couple posts ago 'cause he and his band played at my birthday party at
the Lakeside in August.
I was lucky enough to get to take Simon into the studio years back to produce a couple of his recordsBug Bite Daddy & Look At Me I'm Cool both on Upstart/Rounder.
Simon is a monster guitar player who can make sidewalk cracking shifts in sound and style
with just his hands and his head.
Years ago in an attempt to convince my parents that I actually knew
how to play the guitar I got Simon to teach me to play a couple jazz standards.
Simon still teaches
guitar and commutes to his lessons on a Chicago Era Schwinn Madison Track Bike.
Well, Gibson Guitars put a story up about Simon on their website.
I urge you to check it out and go to Simons site too and grab
a couple cd's.

I love the "Look At Me I'm Cool" CD. I got it 10 years ago and still plays it back to back every now and then.
Have to check out "Bug Bite Daddy".

Thanks so much for the link to the inspiring piece on Simon Chardiet. I'll never forget the blown-away feeling of seeing him play live the first time.
