Roy Smeck
Roy Smeck is a virtuoso genious. His stunning technique, however, transcends itself, and together with improvised percussion onto the current instrument and incredibly good taste, one can't deny Smeck's avant garde approach, specially in his context.
The self descriptive "Plays Hawaiian Guitar, Banjo, Ukulele and Guitar" finds Smeck merging his Hawaiian, country,swing and blues influences in the period of 1926 to 1949, in a nearly perfect compilation.
The frenzy noticeable in the late 20s and 30s is not that evident in his later work. Albeit enjoyable and laid-back, these adjectives are not enough before the groundbreaking aggressiveness of his self described "nifty picking" seen once before.

Opa, valeu Eduardo. Ultimamente estou procurando bandas e artistas em Espanhol. Caso você tenha mais alguma dica, ficaria muito agradecido. Não tenho muitas coisas -- alguns discos do El Otro Yo e dos Babasónicos -- mas caso você queira, posso dar um jeito de passar esses sons.
Grande abraço,
Fábio
Obrigado pelas dicas, Eduardo. Vou dar uma conferida nesses sites. Como você pôde ver, o meu blog está em caráter experimental. Até mudei o visual dele ontem. Se você tiver alguma opinião, pode ficar à vontade. Caso eu descubra algum som novo, também, encaminho para você.
Falou!

What? And you wanna join them in the Abyss o'Misery when a God who loves YOU to death is waiting for you with open arms??? Utter lunacy. Only 2 realms after death, no more, and 1 of ‘em ain’t too cool. There’s still time, my brudda. God blessa youse -Fr. Sarducci, ol SNL
According to Stanford Medical, It's in fact the one and ONLY reason women in this country live 10 years more and weigh 42 pounds lighter than us.
(Just so you know, it is not related to genetics or some secret-exercise and EVERYTHING to "how" they eat.)
P.S, What I said is "HOW", and not "WHAT"...
