This week’s guest, Guy Pelino joined Rockabilly Greg In the Flamingo Lounge on October 7, 2024. Guy has been a music lover all his life and started banging the ivories at about 5 1/2 – and loved the magic of Mozart. But, then came the Beatles, Stones and Kinks and got himself a Stratocaster. A ’52 Les Paul replaced that beautiful guitar soon after.
He has been gigging in bars and clubs and other venues since he was 15 and has had the honor of playing with some incredibly talented folks from coast to coast.
In late 1981 I came off the road and pitched some original tunes to his old friend from the sixties, Bruce “Could Be” Moser. Bruce connected Guy with Terry Sullivan and he joined the band that became the Edge first and then The Restless. We each signed a 10 album contract with Mercury/Polygram and recorded our first record with producer Eddie Kramer who brought us Jimi Hendrix and so many others.
Bruce and Doug, of Could Be Wild, made a lot of great things happen including an outstanding session with the incomparable Ed Stasium.
Guy played with The Enemies from 2000-2024 concurrently with The Evictors and several other bands.
