I think? Everyone that I met that met him says the same thing about him that you have said in your comment. I never had the chance to see him perform so I envy you being able to witness him play live. You lucky SOB!!! Keep on Jammin' Dave! Thank you for the vote of confidence on this post Dave … I think?

I'm really happy that you found this post about my favorite guitar player who lived right down the street from me! Do you have any pic's of him during your radio show? I'd look to take a look at them for sure HMan. During your radio show did he play guitar on it? If so, what did he play? The El Mocambo is still up and running but it has been scaled down some. They rented out the 2nd floor for some dance company believe it or not, BASTARDS!!! Check out a link that I have for my other blog, guitarlicks, and see what the Queen Elizabeth Theatre looks like today! Does it look pretty much the same way now as it did when you saw Domenic back in the day? http://feverishthoughts.com/guitar/2009/01/24/another-hidden-toronto-musical-venue/ I hope that you keep on coming and checking out both my sites in the future HMan and ...

I was very fortunate to have caught him during the Toronto Western NY Rock Swap Era. He was phenomenal each time. First saw him in a two set gig with "The joke's on me" band at the Red Creek Cabaret in Rochester, NY in 1977. Then travelled North to catch him open for TOP at The Queen Elizabeth Theatre c. 1978. Shortly thereafter I saw him for the last time at the El Mocambo where he really opened up and did his earlier blues stuff like "Fannie Mae" and the whole side of the "Tricky" LP. Every time I saw him he was phenomenal. I had the chance to interview him live during a radio show I used to host and he was the most pleasant person to be around; a family man and a bit of a Mama's boy. During the interview somebody lit a joint and he at first said "I probably shouldn't" and when he saw everyone else partaking joined in, shortly exclaiming: "Mom I hope your not listening...I'm a bit stoned." The entire studio errupted in laughter. A great Radio moment at WSAY Rochester, NY. I have Tricky, The Joke's on Me and Burnin at the stake in vinyl, will try to digitize and post on Youtube Hello:

Loved him when I was a kid and saw him everywhere in almost every band he made or passed through except the Guess Who. I always liked his solo shows better anyhow. Because of my serious internet addiction I may have been slightly more aware than some of the absolute lack of decent material about on Dom back in the late 90s and early 00s. This seems to have been remedied to some extent. Your little contribution is like most, Chris, kinda folksy, kinda open and straight up. No coincidence that this is the way I perceived Domenic anytime I encountered him in a Toronto club, or anywhere else in public, over the course of his years in the trenches. He stopped EVERY time and had a word with me or with me and my buddies. We knew who he was allright. He was $%^^-ing great. He was just a class act from stem to stern.
