Blues Jam at the Hole in the Wall

This week several local  musicians gathered at the Hole in The Wall in Dallas, Texas to say farewell to a friend and  guitarist Sam Bifano. Sam Bifano will be leaving the Dallas area to open a bar in South Texas area. Best of luck Sam!   

The Hash Brown Band started the show and other musicians joined in.

 Sam Bifano has been a long time friend and customer of Gary, Billy and Kerry  at The Guitar Shop in Richardson, TX. We all share a love for music and guitars. Click here to see some of the projects we did for Sam.

 
Billy Garretson from The Guitar Shop and Web Site Dallas Vintage Guitars with friend and guitarist David "Doc"  Holliday. A couple of familiar faces Dave Taylor and Skeeter Harrison of  The Revival Band.  These guys are regulars at  the Guitar Shop. 
Many of Sam's friends are here to help celebrate and enjoy the Blues Jam at the Hole in The Wall. Is that Bob Fisk? Randy (center) a regular with Hash Brown Band and the guitarist (right) from the "Leo Hull and Texas Blues Machine".
Hash Brown and Sam on stage. Hash Brown stalls while Marcus gets the gift. Sam has no idea that he is getting a really cool gift. A T-SHIRT!  Sam was given a cool black T-shirt . No one told Sam that the "guitar" text washes off after the first couple washes, so lets hope he never washes it.
Several of Sam's friends took up a collection, bought a Greco SG and presented it to Sam  that night. Nice friends Sam! 
Now that guitar looks great and  Sam is ready to play. Lets hope they didn't give him the  the "bad" tuner. Marcus and Sam on guitar and 18 Karat on the drums.18 Karat plays with the Swell Tones.
Marcus and Sam on guitar and 18 Karat on the drums.  That Greco sounds great played thru a Fender Blues de Ville, but then Sam is a great player.  Not to be outdone Marcus breaks into a lead solo on his Strat while Sam plays  rhythm. This is a very difficult scale to play, but Marcus makes it look easy.
Marcus, Sam and Hashbrown on stage at the Hole in The Wall playing  their last song together. 18 Karat of the Swelltones Band playing his signature song. This guy does it all guitar, drums and vocals.
Blues advocate and guitarist Leo Hull of the legendary band "Leo Hull and The Texas Blues Machine". Leo is a great player and always puts on a great show. See him live in Dallas, TX. Check out Leo at texasbluesmachine.com
Rob Donovan and  Bob Fisk play guitar while 18 Karat plays the drums. We had to leave early, so sorry if we missed anyone. I am still updating names and stuff so stay tuned. I just wanted to get these pics up for everyone, ASAP
