Johnny Smith-the great jazz guitarist passes

Post by Larry Lenhart »

It is indeed sad that we have lost one of the last legends of jazz guitar...I used to listen to his recordings for hours and try to play his arrangements,but of course failed miserably. He was the guitarist when I heard I knew that I wanted...chord melody...the cmposer of Walk, don't run....later made famous by the ventures. If this has been posted somewhere else please forgive me

Ah yes,thanks, since he wasn't a steel player, I didn't think it would be there
