Lots of people on facebook say that Donald Jordan with Blackwater Rhythm & Blues Band belongs on the list of Top Guitar Players in Beach Music. I have to agree, he is one of my favorites!
That’s very kind of you Bo and I appreciate it more than you know. Anyone should feel honored to be included with such fine players as the ones listed here and I’m very grateful to call all of these guys my friends!
Donald Jordan has to be my favorite. I could listen to him play for hours
I think Eddie Gurd of the Entertainers Band should definitely be on this list of great guitar players of Beach Music!!
