Larry Dale, RIP

[paul secor]

Guitarist Larry Dale (Ennis Lowery) passed on May 19th in New York City. He was one of the musicians who were a part of the NYC blues scene in the 1950's and 60's. He played some dynamite guitar on Champion Jack Dupree's Blues from the Gutter album, and his Glover 45 -"Let the Doorbell Ring" is a classic blues/r&b record.

RIP, Mr. Dale - and thanks for the music you gave us.

A great musician - played on hundreds of sessions anonymously. RIP.

I remember hearing him live on the radio every Saturday night from some club in Newark in the early '60's.I was a teenager then, just getting into blues guitar. Wow, I wish I recorded some of that stuff!

Great memory! Must have been wild to hear that.
