The Chetboard

A quick visit with my favorite rhythm guitarist, Joey McKenzie of the Quebe Sisters Band. Full interview forthcoming in Just Jazz Guitar magazine. These gals are great! (And Joey's not too bad, either.)

Neat interview, Craig. Thank you for sharing. Joey is great ... wish I knew progressions as well as he does.

Boy I tell ya what.....talk about a group that gives ya chills when they play!!! Hoo-Wee are they a Tight group!! I saw them on the Marty Stuart Show....and said wow they are OUT OF THIS WORLD!! Check them out on youtube playing "It's A Sin to Tell A Lie" on the Marty Stuart Show.

They're the real deal. Some of the nicest folks around, too.

There's also a "Chet connection." One of Joey's favorite players is "Homer" Haynes of Homer and Jethro, who played rhythm on many of Chet's early sides, and was Chet's favorite rhythm man. (And of course, "Jethro" Burns was married to Leona's twin sister.)

I'll let you know when the interview in Just Jazz Guitar comes out. It's a full interview, plus a rundown on Joey's gear and a transcription of his playing.
