Hamilton Loomis

[ozzyrules]

Got to see Hamilton Loomis last night at his gig in Dallas,Tx. Guys, not only is this guy one of the best blues/funk players ever, he is an extremely nice guy. He loves to talk EBMM guitars as he is an official endorsee (see artist tab on Music Man website). I got to 'chew the fat' and got a photo with him. Great guy, killer band. I'm sold! And yes, I ended up drinking too many beers as the pictures tells all.

Kevin - I have the same shoes

Is that your guitar or his ? Visit Keith while in town ?

+1 - he's a great guy and is a great ambassador for EB. I helped on the soundesk at his gig in Cardiff a few weeks ago and had a great time.

Jason,
Custom Vans rock! That's his 25th. The only guitar he played and the quilt is killer.In fact, I didn't even see a backup guitar. I know he has at least 2 ASS's. He got the 25th from Derek Brooks. I believe Derek owned it. Spud,what a great guy he is.I remember your post about doing sound for him. His Bass player studied with Victor Whooten(sp?), incredible. Drummer & sax are phenomenal alsne of the tightest bands I've ever heard.

I saw his bass player the first time, oh yeah he is amazing - I bleeb he used a UK bass player the other week.

His sax player is something else. - and yup "tight" as heck.
