I've loved Slim Gaillard for a long time and far be it for me to suggest he could add anthing to his routine (and his talents extend so far beyond those displayed in this video) he should have put minIature passports at the 3rd and 5th frets of his guitar. He plays so good that the first through third frets cover Spanish Flamenco technique, third through fifth cover the subtle rhythms of Cuban guitar (my personal favourite). I'm saying his fretboard mastery could qualify as international travel, ok?Once upon a time in the past that would be a pretty neat brag.

To Neal Cassady, Slim Gaillard was "God." "God! Yes! Slim knows time, he knows time." Jack Kerouac's description in his classic, culture-altering 'On The Road' of his and Cassady's visit to a San Francisco nightclub where Slim was playing (in reality occurred in NYC) made an impression on me when I read the book for the first time, during my first term of college, in October of 1976, having "borrowed" my copy from the packed office shelf of a debonair 40-ish English professor who was schtupping some of the girls in class (my freshman logic was that if he was stealing potential girlfriends I'd steal his 'On The Road'). Five years later, in October of 1981, I hitchhiked from Portland, Oregon to Olympia, Washington to visit a friend for the weekend. After settling in and relaxing for a while at my friend's little house, I noticed a copy of the previous night's newspaper and upon browsing through it discovered that Slim Gaillard was going to be playing that very night at The Rainbow Tavern, downtown. Oh, my God! Slim was playing that night downtown! The friend I was visiting also was a fan of 'On The Road,' Kerouac in general, Neal Cassady, The Merry Pranksters, The Grateful Dead, and related culture. Upon arriving at the humble tavern downtown, we found an open table close to the stage where Slim would be performing, and as it worked out, Slim was very pleased to join us for each of his breaks between sets. I bought him glasses of bourbon-orooni aplenty-avuati throughout the evening, and a very good time was had by all, to say the least. Slim was 70 at the time, living with his daughter in nearby Seattle. www.litkicks.com/Texts/RoadJazz.html
