Mr. Robot Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I have always loved this guy's playing and I have seen him twice live - once with Linda Ronsdadt and once with Stevie Nicks. I wonder what others think of him and if any of you have seen him playing at his regular house gig at The Joint in LA He has had some awesome guests, including Keith Richards and Robert Plant http://waddywachtelinfo.com/WaddyWachtelBand.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played on hundreds of well known albums from Stevie Nicks to X-Pensive Winos. Excellent. Up there with Steve Lukather as a all round session player in my books.

Mr. Robot Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 Hey Lowdown. Would you believe that one of the guys who played with Keef on X-pensive winos is living in Melbourne, playing gigs and working on the side at Billy Hyde's music? His name is Jerome Smith - very cool African American guy who plays bass - now touring with the Divinyls I hear. He actually sold me a Fender deluxe amp. I was a bit tongue tied I have to say. Visit his website, including some footage with Waddy and Keith http://www.jeromesmith.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 An African American living in Oz? Would he be an African Australian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Robot Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 An African American living in Oz? Would he be an African Australian? Hmmm. Good point. Do yu ever lose your original nationality? He has only been here a few years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I don't know what you would say in that case. If he's from America then I'd say African American. I was just being a smart ***. You're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowdown Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I've actually met him and been out on the grog with him. Was Keef's bass player. For a while he was actually working with my drummer back in the late '90's as a mail sorter. Since I've been out of the loop,I have know idea about the music biz these daze though. Very nice,funny bloke.Down to earth and fulla stories as you'd expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstMeasure Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I dig Waddy's White Top Les Paul. Usually White Pauls are All White, his has a White Top only, which I think looks *****en. Real good Band Leader, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
