I just love G E Smith. I saw him in 2000 in Bangor Maine in a Bar during a Sunday Afternoon Concert. The friend I was with bought a photo of him snd then dragged nme to the stage and introduced us and asked him to autograph the Photo for me. I was mortified. He is just areally cool down to earth guy that was very sweet . Excellent musician , singer , song writer . Could listen t him talk forEVER. THANKS for avgreat Concert that day. Wishing you the very best . ❤️
Never heard him talk before, only remember him from being on SNL with T-Bone Wolk...but this was cool as hell. I could listen to this guy talk about music for hours. Going from Shirley Caesar to the Clash like that? He’s a real one
Bless ya, G.E. I just checked out Sweepin' Through The City on YT. It reminds me of a few years back when I found myself in Memphis on a Sunday and visited a church down a side road about a mile or two from Graceland. That day I got the Rev. Al Green in his church with a 4-piece band and a full gospel choir for 3 hours. I'll never forget it.
I think I found the break G.E.'s referring to (at the 2:07 mark): "I Won't Be Back" - The Caravans feat, Shirley Caesar (ORIGNAL VERSION) ruclips.net/video/jR06z9xXX2U/видео.html
I enjoyed your 2 hour interview you have out. What really stuck out to me was when you mentioned the Dylan albums, and how you would carry them. Making sure everyone seen them. As I could relate to doing the same, as I carried them to friends places, parties, making sure everyone was aware of the message, and the depth of the lyrics. I'm two years older than you. Like you I was at Woodstock, left from Montreal with a buddy on motorcycle. I've seen the "greats" and the ones that should have been. Soft machine, stones in 65, Hendrix , doors, Janis, pink Floyd,etc. many jazz musicians.I would have to disagree with the who, the exact opposite in my case , they were deplorable, and phony in there stunt Show. I think The Troggs opened for them, and got a better reception. Your video with Richard Gere, was hilarious. With him and his collection. It all looked very strange. Your an excellent Musician, enjoy your stuff.
I like GE Smiths playing, melodic, bluesy, most of all TASTEFUL and he shreds when appropriate, it's hard to listen to a guitar player showing off and shredding for 2 minutes, "Look at me!"
Such a a great story teller and authentic person.
G.E. sometime talks about working around and with the "cool cats" I hope he realizes he is definitely one of them!! Enjoyed the interview!

I stopped watchin' snl when G.E. left, but thank god we have the internet now. So, we ALWAYS know what he's up to!!🤗
Any content with G.E. Smith is worthwhile. Thanks.
I love listening to G E - talking, singing, and playing guitar!
Me too LOVE him.
Grayscale with the wind blowing, trees swaying in the background, and chatting music with a legend. Absolutely amazing video!!!!

What about the Paul Buttterfield Blues Band as an influence??
Where's that Tele?
woo
G.E. for mayor of Stroudsburg!
I liked Leroy Bell before he got all anti-Israel, way before the war.
