Talk:David Bromberg

Untitled

David's website gives his year of birth as 1945.....

Is he really a "Jewish American"?

Original research?

I bumped into this sentence, unreferenced on Bromberg's article: "Bromberg is proficient on fiddle, many styles of acoustic and electric guitar (to each of which he lends a highly individual voice), pedal steel guitar and dobro. David Lindley, Norman Blake, Emily Robison and Ricky Skaggs are among the small number of other major musicians with equal proficiency on three or more string instruments.[citation needed]" I am wondering why Lindley, Blake, Robinson, and Skaggs (and there were more, I just pared it down some, being familiar with nearly every one on the list)-- why are they being chosen in comparison to Dave Bromberg? It appears that another editor may have been placing him into a group randomly, or...? Someone help me out with this. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 22:57, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

There are probably many notable musicians who can play with "equal proficiency on three or more string instruments". Since there's no sourcing on any of this, it should probably be reworded or removed. - I.M.S. (talk) 03:38, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

As a sideman & session musician

As I understand it, Bromberg srated out as a sideman & session musician. Is there any biographical material available on that portion of his career? It's not everyone who gets the likes of Norman Blake, the Greatful Dead, and George Harrison as early collaborators, so I assume he must have developed a prodigious reputation inside the industry before he went solo. - Jmabel | Talk 05:28, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Brian Bromberg collaborations

The discography lists two recordings with Brian Bromberg, the jazz bassist. However, this is another David Bromberg (Brian's brother, a drummer) described here-- http://www.tucsonmusiciansmuseum.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=223&Itemid=71 David Bromberg's website lists these and other such collaborations, but I think that discography is wrong too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.59.125.236 (talk) 21:10, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

I believe you're right. So, I've removed those two albums from the discography section of the article. Thanks. — Mudwater ^(Talk) 21:40, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

lead and rhythm at the same time

I can play lead and rhythm at the same time and no one ever wrote an article on me. 97.82.198.192 (talk) 22:47, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Who wrote Summer Wages?

As far as I can tell it was written by Ian Tyson of Ian and Sylvia. Bromberg changed the lyrics- there is no Young Street in Vancouver, it’s Main in the original. And he changed “hookers” to “hustlers”. Can someone please clarify? It is truly a Canadian song, 71.7.132.16 (talk) 13:14, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
