Today, Live! My old friend, guitarist extraordinaire, Godfrey Townsend, currently with the Yardbirds, will be joining us. Finally!
Godfrey has played with a range of greats from John Entwistle to Jack Bruce. Eric Clapton's guitar technician, Lee Dickson, commented to John Entwistle, "Hey John, come listen to this guy...he's got Clapton down better than Clapton!" Entwistle replied, "You twit!...that's MY guitar player!"
Godfrey plays guitar and keyboards, sings, and serves as the music director for countless live performers, most notably his own "Clapton is God-frey" show and the Happy Together tour.
A favorite in New York City's Max's Kansas City and the China Club, Godfrey's been the guy who got famous rockers on stage to jam with the bands. After a stint in Las Vegas working with Mitch Ryder, Spencer Davis, and Joey Molland of Badfinger, he was recruited by John Entwistle of The Who, with whom he performed a half dozen tours, a studio album, and a live album. Godfrey went on to play with Alan Parsons, Todd Rundgren, Ann Wilson of Heart, Jack Bruce, Mark Farner, Christopher Cross, Flo and Eddie, and Dave Mason.
And, he's played for me in innumerable venues back in the day! Can’t wait to catch up!
