Tough to see Mighty Lester's smoking guitarist Lenny Terenzi retire from the band this past week. We all know it's temporary; his tone is far too smoking to stay hung up on the shelf for long. The band, formed in 2000 and universally acclaimed as one of the best "little" big bands in the U.S., was coming off one of it most successful years ever, after winning the 2007 Best Self-Produced CD award from the Blues Foundation and coming third at the IBCs. Terenzi puts the decision down to the tough nature of the road and the importance of family, which even the most die-hard fan could understand. The band's exceptional 2007 CD We Are Mighty Lester can be found here.

Is this the same "family man" who is now on Blindman's Blues forum laughing at the guys he left on the hook for a gig, which he's now agreed to play but has spun it into "the band came crawling" even though he called them? What a guy. What a pro. I don't buy it.
