Pat Martino Unstrung- documentary EPK

Watching Pat Martino play guitar was something special unless you ever tried to learn guitar it seems unfathomable to start playing guitar at the age of 12 and performing at the age of 15 with guys that were 40 250 years older than Pat and what was amazing is when George Benson walked into a small Jazz venue filled with black people and George Benson saying oh man what's he going to do I should go up there and show him how to play then all of a sudden there was a break in the music and this guitar just l e p t out with Incredible lines articulation and t o n e and I thought to myself at 19 years old that I had conquered New York after listening to Pat I said man I better get out of here that's how humble and a great person George Benson was

I was a personal friend of Pat Martino grew up in the same neighborhood Pat lived at 16th and wolf and I grew up at 19th and Snyder you couldn't meet a nicer person on this Earth hat was so humble and he just like the things that we take for granted every day in life I remember having Christmas Eve dinner with Pat and his wife and me and my fiance at Nick's Roast Beef I was one of the best Christmases that I ever experience I'm going to miss you Pat rest in peace and God bless you Johnny falasca
