Matt Weidinger at Hughs Room


I had only seen Matt Weidinger in a back-up role, but backing up EVERYBODY! He was a real utility man and probably qualified as a "hardest working" sideman in the west end.  When he appeared on the scene as the "new kid on keyboards" he made a big impression and I remember someone telling me he had bought a house.  You don't usually hear musician and homeowner in the same sentence - not nowadays.Good for him!  Now I finally got to see him doing his own thing and it's not blues but it sounded fine to me
