[13] His seven-minute rendition of "Mr. Bojangles" from 1972's Demon in Disguise, interspersed with tales about traveling with the song's author, Jerry Jeff Walker, earned Bromberg progressive rock radio airplay.

Bromberg occasionally performs at Wilmington's Grand Opera House, where he and his wife are major donors.
