Great White Sobriety –
Sept. 26, 2019 – The date was May 21, 1988 , and I was on Global Travels concert caravan heading to one of my first hard rock shows and little did I know then as a young lad, that many decads later I would be able to speak with my idols of the time. I was lucky enough a few months ago to chat with Whitesnake guitar God Adrian Vandenberg and now I have completed the circle by speaking directly with Great White mainstay and legend guitarist Mark Kendall.
The show at the Castle was awesome and I remember the great blues rock riffs from Mark and the rest of the band where they were playing mostly from the Once Bitten album. Over the years, I have still followed Great White and have seen them more than a few times. I was telling Mark that my favourite album of theirs was Can’t Get There From Here which was very melodic with strong lyrics. Tunes like Hey Mister and Freedom Song really gives me goosebumps.
