This video is a song that was recorded at Club Carm. The artist is Dave Nachmanoff, a singer-songwriter out of Davis, California who was a philosophy major and decided to pursue a career in music. He plays acoustic guitar with singer-songweriter Al Stewart, who had the hits "Year of the Cat' and "Time Passages".Let's share some of Dave's influences:Dave grew up listening to a lot of folk and bluegrass in the DC area, including Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie and Weavers, the Seldom Scene, John Denver, Kingston Trio and more, then through one of his babysitters, heard Simon and Garfunkel and the Beatles, got into Bob Dylan and some of the British folk rock, like Steelye Span and Fairport Convention, but after discovering the Beatles music, went more into rock, including many of the West Coast folk-rock acts like the Eagles, America and Jackson Browne. In the late 70's he got into Al Stewart and never really recovered from that.Other influences in the 80's included some of the 'pub rockers' like Nick Lowe and Graham Parker, and the New Wave bands like the Cars, Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson. Also Bruce Springsteen, who was in inspiration as much for his style of performance as the for the songs. Later in the 80's Dave got into mainstream country for awhile, particularly Mary Chapin Carpenter, and then alt country like Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams and Rodney Crowell. The singer-songwriter boom of the 90's was the time that Dave really started to develop as a songwriter, and of course he was influenced by both the well known artists like David Wilcox, Shawn Colvin and Richard Shindell, and some of his friends and peers who were less well-known, but great writers. More recently Dave has become obsessed with the clever power pop of Fountains of Wayne and some of the other melodic alternative rock bands.As a guitarist, Dave was very influenced the the acoustic lead of Maury Muehleisen, who played with Jim Croce and was killed in the same plane crash with him, also by Tim Renwick, Isaac Guillory and Peter White, all of whom played with Al Stewart. Mark Knopfler was a big influence and inspiration, and so was Django Reinhardt, the wonderful gypsy jazz guitarist and namesake of Dave's son.Various classical and jazz composers probably factor in somewhere, and the classic standards of Cole Porter, Hoagy Carmichael and the Gershwins etc... all provide inspiration. Dave's tastes are pretty eclectic, but as long as there is some passion, expression and interesting content, it is all grist for the mill! [ More Detail ]

From Wikipedia:Many features for which Yes became known are demonstrated for the first time on The Yes Album: * The "democratic" balance of the band — with each member making his own significant contribution — is seen here for the first time. * Steve Howe appeared with the band for the first time and played a very prominent role throughout. His solo acoustic tune, "Clap" (forever renamed "The Clap" by Anderson's mis-introduction on the live track and heavily influenced by the Davy Graham track 'fingerbuster' ) has always been a concert favourite of the band and their fans. * The band began to explore longer songs with "Yours Is No Disgrace," "Starship Trooper," and "Perpetual Change," foreshadowing the many album-side-length tracks that followed on Close to the Edge, Tales from Topographic Oceans and Relayer. * In many parts of the song "Clap", Steve Howe uses an open-string guitar chord method to achieve an airy effect, resulting in a sound wherein the listener might believe that the song is being played as a guitar duet. * The spacey, electronic-sounding guitar effect in "Starship Trooper" was achieved via a flanger, a device that was relatively new at the time of the recording. * Their first keyboard player, Tony Kaye, preferred the simple Hammond B-3 and piano over the "new" (at the time) Moog synthesizers that Anderson was interested in using. This became a cause of contention within the band and had an influence on the line-up change, bringing in Rick Wakeman from Strawbs and his array of electronic keyboards.The Yes Album is generally considered a classic 1970s rock album and a highlight of the band's long career. The songs "Starship Trooper" and "I've Seen All Good People" are still staples of classic rock radio. In 2000 Q magazine placed it at number 86 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.

Back Door Slam lead guitarist/vocalist Davy Knowles talks about being compared to legends like Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, and the musicians who inspired him to start playing as young kid. As well as learning how to play the Dire Straits song, "Sultans of Swing" on acoustic guitar when he was only eleven years old by listening to the tape over and over again until he wore the tape out.

I first heard Horace Silver's "Buffalo" played by Davy Graham on his 1961 album "The Guitar Player" - which I bought on vinyl and still have. It's nearly a 12-bar blues but with some passing bass notes in the final bars. I've translated those bass notes into more forward chords.http://www.mjra.net/WillFly/If you like DIY music and good companionship, why not take a look at the "Front Porch" discussion board.
