With a swagger that leaps out of the speakers, Myers plays slide on his resonator guitar to a rhythm straight from the Delta. "Everywhere I been somebody being abused / Never gonna win some of us are born to lose / Just wanna have a little fun before we die / There never ever was no difference 'tween you and I," he sings, punctuating his message with finger picking that is as precise as it is intense.(NPR)
“People often tell me that my big mistake was not learning guitar
right-handed,” he smiles. “But I counter them and say, ‘No, my
big mistake was not learning guitar upside-down!’”(Nat Myers
I had the pleasure of attending a performance by Nat Meyers in my hometown of Middelburg (Holland). Beautiful stories about his origins, his Korean mother and above all beautiful songs and excellent guitar playing. I had a very pleasant evening with many old fellow citizens with this cheerfuland original blueman!!

What sad news to hear of the passing of my dear friend and former
bandmate David Lindley. How blessed I was to have him in my band in the
early 70’s. During that time we played the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival
and there’s a live album of our show. We went on to play the first
Glastonbury Festival too . David was a really gifted musician
on any instrument with strings and was so in-demand that he played
with everybody. He made a huge contribution to both my River and Seed of
Memory albums. Sincere condolences to his loved ones.Terry Reid

Small Faces were a British rock group from the 1960s.The members were Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, Kenny Jones and Jimmy Winston.Their debut single, "What'cha Gonna Do About It", written by Ian Samwell, was released in 1965 and was a minor hit in their home country.Their next single, "I've Got Mine", failed to chart, and Winston left the band.Ian McLagan took his place, and they had a big hit in England with the song "Sha-La-La-La-Lee".
All or Nothing
The peak of their popularity was in August 1966 when "All Or Nothing" reached the top of the UK charts, subsequently becoming their only No. 1 hit.Their first album was "Small Faces", and proved to be very successful.After moving to the Immediate Records label of Rolling Stones' producer Andrew 'Loog' Oldham, the song they are still known for was released: "Itchycoo Park".
Itschycoo Park In 1968 their fourth album, Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake, was released, one side of which was based on a fairy tale.The album received very good reviews and reached first place in England.The album also included the previously successful hit single "Lazy Sunday".The sentence "Lazy Sunday afternoon... I've got no mind to worry, close my eyes and drift away...." gives an image of the flower power period
Lazy Sunday When Marriot suddenly left the band in 1969 and formed Humble Pie, the rest of the members attempted to continue Small Faces, recruiting Rod Stewart and Ron Wood.Shortly afterwards they changed their name to The Faces.
