Paul Lenart, Just found out about him this past week. He's a Yinzer & a veteran of T-Bone Walker's band

[The Polack MSgt]

Quick thumbnail from his bio:
Born in Pittsburgh, PA, he spent his teen years learning and performing Balkan music with the Duquesne University Tamburitzan Orchestra. He taught himself guitar while attending Columbia University, and started performing in New York City.

He doesn't have that much solo work to choose from but has a very healthy discography as asideman/collaborating picker & multi-instrumentalist.

He's also on a bunch of Ragtime and WW I era jazz records:

He's willing to play just about anything from guitar -

I'm scrolling through youtube music and most of his songs have way fewer than a thousand views. Definitely a hidden jem

or even less than 100 in this case

Stanley Theater for what turned out to be T Bone Walker’s last concert. Going to listen to the selections you posted now .

2. Loved the Stanley

Saw so many great shows there in the late 70s

3. Stanley was voted best place to see shows because of the acoustics.
