Allan Holdsworth, Clint Strong: 2006 Concert



    Dear friends, Dale and I thought it would be time to post this video of Clint opening for Allan Holdsworth. This was a dream I had in mind because besides Allan and Clint are my 2 favorite guitarists on the planet I was good friends with both so I was pretty sure I could pull it off. Clint didn’t want to do it at first because well what guitarist would want to “open for Allan Holdsworth” it’s an intimidating task no matter who you are. I explained to Clint that I had played Allan some recordings of Clint and he liked It. Allan also liked to have openers that had a completely different style and Clint being Bebop I just knew it would work and it did. I called Dan Mojica at Dan’s Silver Leaf in Denton, secured the date and we did it. It was sold out and another great memory is I was helping my friend master Japanese chef Keiichi Nagano open “Keiichi” in Denton and he cooked for them and Clint, I Allan, Jimmy and Chad were the first guest at the private table of our new restaurant. Allan ate everything in sight and even drank the broth of the clam soup it was so good. I wish I would have taped the dinner party. It was fun as hell and so many stories came up. Let’s keep it private to Clint’s channel as I will send the master to Louise (Allan’s daughter) in case they want to want to publish it. Ai can’t believe this was 19 years ago in 2006 and Keiichi has been open for 20 years now. Where does the time go? Enjoy and share. -
