Pioneering guitarist Harvey Mandel has been diagnosed with a rare form of invasive cancer, and the extensive surgeries needed to save his life have left him with extensive medical bills.

Nice!

 

I'll be reuniting with high school friends tomorrow evening at Terrapin Crossroads, then seeing Karl Denson's Tiny Universe; otherwise, I'd join you, Walstib.

 

Wishing the best for Mr. Mandel

I hope he gets better!

I will wish him well. Harvey has always been kind to me & My Little Brother Steven. We have seen him many many times. Harvey knows some things too.

I love al Pastor, thank you for the treat. I came home after the show and made poke using beautiful Oregon albacore; that was really good with a simple salad with lettuce from my garden. Yum. I'll have to have tacos soon.

Very cool lineups

Killer Show! Harvey is true living guitar legend, so much fun to watch him play at that level.

If you get a chance to see Harvey, don't pass it up

PS: He would be awesome with Phil, get him to TXR stat.
