Don’t forget these incredible guitarists from New Jersey
I thought the piece on New Jersey guitarists was fun []. As a resident of Middletown (where they just dedicated a street to “Little” Steven Van Zandt five minutes from my home), can I add an “honorable mentions” list? Besides Little Steven, how about Lou Pallo, who played in Les Paul’s trio for many years? Keith Richards referred to him CD/ DVD); Jon Herington, who has played with Steely Dan for more than 30 years, and, although he isn’t a shredder, his acoustic playing is highly underrated and has added such a wonderful sound to more songs than you can count — Mr. Paul Simon — born in Newark. (Since I was born and raised in Brooklyn, I don’t hold it against him for moving to Queens. I still love his playing.) Thanks for visiting the Garden State!
