I Saw FREEBO!

After Katz's we walked down Ludlow Street and I noticed Freebo's name up on the sandwich board outside of the Living Room so I had to go in. Freebo was Bonnie Raitts great bass player for many years. He played a fretless bass with her, but tonight played both one of those acoustic basses with pickups - not the big thing but one that looks like an acoustic guitar but with only 4 big strings. He also played a regular guitar on a lot of songs that he wrote. He sang pretty well too - and for someone who played on Bonnie's early albums in the beginning of the 1970's, he looked pretty good. I know the picture's fuzzy but it's the best I could do. The Living Room, recently moved to Ludlow Street from Stanton, and actually had it's roots across from my former apartment (well, former by many years ago) on St. Marks Place. If you havent been to Ludlow Street recently, you would be surprised at how upscale it's become, except of course for good old Katz's.
