The Billy Price Guitar Army
takes the stage at Moondog's on April 29. Jimmy Britton will be gone
that weekend for New Orleans Jazzfest--call it a professional
development trip--so I thought it might be fun to play the gig with
two guitar players, since I know two great ones.
One, of course, is Lenny Smith. The other is Jack Rigg, whose most
recent credit is having played with Blue Oyster Cult (this is not a
typo) and appeared on their recent CDs. Jack, who moved to Pittsburgh
from New York about a year ago to pursue a career change, is a
versatile and gifted guitar player, as we learned when he subbed for
Lenny at the Tin Angel in Philly in December. I think Jack and
Lenny's styles will complement each other perfectly--it should be a
great night.

I was a freshman at the U of Pgh in 1970 and became a fan of the Rhythm Kings sometime between '72 and '74. My 2 girlfriends and I were kind of groupies (dare I say this). We knew a friend of the band and we used to go to the jam sessions at their big mansion. It's all kind of fuzzy (hmmm...wonder why) but I for sure remember that Billy Price was THE MAN. I live in Raleigh NC right now and see that he's coming to the Cat's Cradle in July. I'm so there!
