Locavore Discovery: I'd seen guitarist Daniel DeLorenzo's name on a few gigs but hadn't heard him play. A friend sent this YouTube link--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgnIVEOFH80--to his latest self-produced CD. It sounds good enough for me to put a link to him on the Home Page & to keep an eye out for a live gig.
