Spontaneous Combustion
My friend Fernando Hernandez, a guitarist from San Antonio, called me this morning to ask if I received the cd he made for me. He said he wrote a blues song on the spot that recalls Frank Marino, Uli Roth, Robin Trower, and Jimi Hendrix. He called it "Spontaneous Combustion." He's really a world class player. He used to be in a melodic power metal band in the 80s called Paradox. He is truly jaw-dropping good. The last time I saw him, he bent the vibrato bar with his elbow in a high speed jam solo.
Frank Marino, a believer, by the way, has an "audio trailer" of his new double live cd on his website (link above).
