up guitar later, unfortunately, it was to play folk and rock. took me a long
time to get back to what I originally loved.
I'd love to find out about some recordings with Tony.

When I was in high school ('70s), I used to get goofed on unmercifully
by my friends because I listened to, and appreciated, Tony Mattola.
This was in the Jimmy Page, Robin Trower era. My tastes at the time
were more towards Martino, Coryell, Burrell and Pass. They could
almost accept it when I put on one of those LPs, but Mattola, no way,
or Johnny Smith either!
Ha! I was right then and I'm still right. Those guys could sure play
some fine 'clean' guitar! Unfortunately, the LPs are long gone. :(

I think there is a web page dedicated to Enoch which apparently Tony
played with or recorded under.
