Title: Had to share this
Post by: phishlips on August 23, 2011, 01:12:42 PM
this is a video of a local guy round my area, northern NJ.  He's actually from the Hudson Valley NY area but it's pretty close.  Anyways, super nice guy, and outrageous player, without a doubt the best guitar player I know.  His name is John Bendy.  Plays a bit in NYC on weeknights and does quite a bit of work with Jaco's kids too.  His brother Mike is also quite a monster on bass but he's not in this video.  Check em out, I'd love to see this guy on the big stages very soon.

search him of youtube and there's lots of vids.  either his name or Bendy Pastorius Group.  He's got the quintessential "it"

Ahhhhh Oakland Park Florida..... That is a great area for live music in the Ft Lauderdale area. Great blues and jazz bands. Went to college and lived there back in 93. Spent 4 years in and the rest of my life trying to get back there!

Great Dead cover bands there too..
