No I never heard of this cat, but to your point just another hell of an entertainer playing in the shadows. Thanks for the link.

In fact your post and link brought back a memory of a band that the who's who in Nashville music would hire for many of their functions. The band was/is still called "Sons of the Beach".

HERE is a clip of them today still playing in the shadows. I must admit a lot more grey hair and tonnage added to the act since I saw them back in the 80's. :>

My point to trapper is that these guys, including Grant who played BB King's club, had the talent and no doubt the connections as they were known and booked by the movers and shakers in the industry. So who knows why they are not a household name today. Many unknowns in the search for fame and fortune.

I remember what the old band leader Phil Harris told my cousin while he was playing trumpet in Pete Fountain's band at Pete's bar in New Orleans . . . he said he believes in his heart that until that Angel taps you on your shoulder and says hey baby now it is your turn nothing else matters.

Edited portion: As I look at that clip I see they might have lost their live horn section and drummer . . . BIAB?

Also if anyone does not understand singing from the diaphragm check out Steve's belly as he sings . . . this is priceless!

Later,
