Quitzau exhibits extreme feel for his guitar

“Where there is music, sweet music falling down like rain,” one of  Lester Quitzau’s lyrics from his beautiful ballad 'In Your Arms Again,' summed up his Feb. 5 show at the Wolf's Den for the Lethbridge Folk Club.Lester Quitzau at the Wolf’s Den. Photo by Richard Amery
 The Gulf Island based bluesman picked and grinned his way through an almost sold out performance at the Wolf’s Den for the Lethbridge Folk Club. He was backed by stand-up bassist Farley Scott, who switched to electric bass for a good part of the first set.
 Quitzau started his laid back first set playing a mellow instrumental on his battered Stratocaster, then switched to a dobro for some tasteful slide playing. A pretty instrumental, ‘Ferris Wheel,’ also included a pretty cool steel drum solo.
 He sang a couple really pretty numbers, but shone on the guitar on which he exhibited supreme feel  and taste for his instrument.  He ended his first set with a restrained and eerie slide powered version  of blues classic ‘Rollin’ and Tumblin.’
