Tuesday evening, somewhere around 9:30 p.m. I was introduced to two remarkable acoustic guitar players. David Tamkin, a Chicago native but now residing in Denver, Colorado, and guitarist Glen Phillips of Toad the Wet Sprocket played to a full house at Duffy’s Tavern and Grill. Between the $1.00 Tacos and $3.00 Heineken’s, I enjoyed the sounds both musicians produced single-handed on stage.
