I don't recall knowing about Emily Remler before.  From her Wiki page, she was a great player who died young.  Just watched a video and yeah, she was good.

That she was.

I hadn't heard of her before, either.  Sure sounds good in the video I watched.  And it included this great quote: 

 "I may look like a nice Jewish girl from New Jersey, but inside I'm a 50-year-old, heavy-set black man with a big thumb, like Wes Montgomery." ER"

Bill, tgo

I think Guitar Player Magazine hipped me to her while I was in high school. I bought a CD of hers, was blown away, then found out she died - all in the space of a few months. I hadn't thought about her in years when you posted this. Hers is a very sad story.

Haven't heard that name in a while; he was a favorite back in the day.  Listening to some now.  Thanks!

LOVE Bromberg's music!

Whether rock, folk, blues, bluegrass*, or whatever, he's just freakin' amazing!

*He was a big part of why the redneck pickers around where I grew up came up with the subgenre "Jewgrass".......

He recently sold his American violin collection through Tarisio — he had tried to sell it to the Smithsonian, but I guess they weren't buying.

Eric Gale (1938)

Please note that this is Eric Gale - not Eric Gales, who is considerably younger.
