COMMENTARY BY NASTY NED FROM AMERICAN ROOTS BLOG :

 

Today we are all stunned and saddened by the passing, Sunday, of our friend, our brother, a true American Roots Live All-Star and international guitar-legend in his own right, Bernie Brausewetter.

BB was with us, on stage, through-out ARL's first year in every venue we played. Even when we expanded to two shows per week in two states, Bernie often made both, back to back.

Always a gentleman and a pro's pro, Bernie Brausewetter thrilled fans everywhere he went with his awesome genius and brilliant guitar work.

I can't say enough about the big man so I'll stop trying to find the right words. Forgive me. I'd rather post photos of Bernie this time

 

MORE PHOTOS   ON BB'S MYSPACE  WERE THERE IS A LINK TO THE STINGERS WEB PAGE AND ALSO HERE  AT AMERICAN ROOTS

COMMENTS FROM A PLEASANT SYMMETRY  :

 

 

BERNIE  WAS A .GREAT GUY AND A GREAT MUSICIAN .

 

I WILL MISS HIM DEARLY , I AM GREATFUL TO HAVE KNOWN AND PLAYED WITH HIM .

 

HE WAS FUNNY  AND OFTEN MADE SILLY FACES WHEN I TRIED TO TAKE PHOTOS  OF HIM .

 

HE WAS QUIET THE MUSICAL GENIOUS ,   USING FLUID RUNS ,

 

 EXOTIC CHANGES AND INTERPRETATIONS OF THE CLASSICS  .

 

HE WAS A UNIQUE  PLAYER  AND VERY GIFTED  .

 

 HE WAS A SMART  SONGWRITER  ,

 

AND HE PLAYED WITH THE GREATEST MUSICIANS AROUND. 

 

 

SOME PART OF ME WISHES    I COULD SEE HIM PLUGIN AT THE JAM AT ORPHAN ANNIES OR AMERICAN ROOTS,

 

HE WOULD ROLL IN AND WATCH INTENTLY BEFORE AND AFTER HIS SET . 

'

I KNOW WHEN I GO BACK TO O ' ANNIES ILL BE LOOKING FOR  HIM  SITTING WAY IN THE BACK  ,

 

BUT I KNOW FOR CERTAIN  ,

 

THERE  IS SOME GUY IN HEAVEN RIGHT NOW   MAKING JOKES AND   PLAYING SOME OUTSTANDING SOLOS  .

 

HEY BERNIE SAY HELLO TO THE BIG MAN FOR  ME  !

 

PEACE ED 

 

 

(I WILL ATTEMPT TO  UPLOAD PHOTOS HERE LATER  )

 

 

 

 

 

 

American Roots Live 51 was brimming with excitment last week. Maybe it was everyone's anticipation of ARL 52 - this week's one year anniversary celebration. Maybe it was because our friend, NYC firefighter, Brian Z was back on stage again. Maybe it was because guitar legend, Dave DiPietro was making his American Roots Live debut and smoking the house slow.

Maybe it was because Arlene Schar and Mimi Nowak sparkeled like diamonds or maybe it was Len De Piano, John Powers or JR Bradfield showing everybody how it's done with class, ability, humility and dedication.

OR just maybe it was that charbroiled 16oz steak with all the trimmings The Rail serves-up for just $9.95.

Whatever it was, we raised the bar again at American Roots Live 51 and we're looking forward to seeing all of you this week down at the station as we click past ARL 52 signaling one solid year of "open" roots rockin' fun.

It seems like just yesterday when I introduced our first co-hosts, Bassboards Blues Band with our friends Kate Weber and John Caruna



...then co-host Duane Chez
and, so sad to say adios when he left for Puerto Rico after ARL 8


...then so fortunate to come together with the incredible John Powers who co-hosts ARL to this day.



There are so many wonderful, solid people to recognize and thank including, but not limited to Billy K, Ed Pampani, Elliot "Win" Newcomb, Johnny Charles, HoneyBoy Dupree, Eddie Ray, Bobby Malavenda, Larry Gliozzi, Charles T. Wegman, Mike and Lynn Ruane, Elmore Magazine, Ben Elliot, Joe Karam, and Richie Zupko RIP.

ARL 51's role call includes John Powers, JR Bradfield, Ed Pampani, Len De Piano, Mimi Nowak, Dave DiPietro, Keith Mc Gonigle, Tommy Fuller, White Knight; Ed, Glenn, Shawn and Tom, Arlene Schar, Randy Marinelli, Carlo, Robert Zee, Arne Englund, Chris O'Sullivan, Uncle Wayne, Joe Sax, Dennis Macarone, Rob Fraser, Cal Richards, Brian Z, Chris Porto, Dave O, Bones Sanford, Roy MacNamara, and Metal Bob.

With lots of Roots fun in the future, including our long awaited TV show by the same name (which is just on the horizon), please don't forget the American Roots All-Stars autographed guitar that is being given away this Sunday at ARL 52. With only two opportunities left to buy tickets; this Thursday night and early in the evening Sunday, be sure and get yours.

Remember we're raising money with the guitar raffle as a part of the Blaze Benefit for our friend Harry Okie and his kids.

Hope to see you all soon.

Keeping it real,

ned
