My favorite Kinks song. 

Happy 90th Birthday Willie.

Was in my local pub last night chatting to three other regulars and the conversation turned to music. One of the others is a musician and teaches music at one of the local secondary schools and he mentioned about when he was on holiday in the States years back and went into Buddy Guy's club. During a break Buddy chatted to some of the punters including the guy I was chatting to last night. He mentioned that he played piano and was asked to go on stage with Buddy. What an honour.. 

How great would that have been. Playing on stage with Buddy Guy!

Yes. A great moment. Have to confess I was very jealous when he mentioned it. Saying that I can't play an instrument so no chance of me getting on stage.

 

Mississippi John Hurt with ‘You’ve got to walk that lonesome valley.’ Performed live. What an amazing guitarist.

I play the guitar. Well,sort of. My aim, to paraphrase the late great Eric Morecambe. ‘Is to play all the right notes, in the right order.’😀

Ah, a classic sketch with the late Andrew Preview!

 

 

A fine piece of music from a great film.

‘Crown Imperial.’ By William Walton. Seems kind of appropriate to post this piece of music today.

Not my usual choice on here it has to be said !😀

‘The River.’ By Bruce Springsteen.

Agree. One of the finest guitarists of all time. Would easily be in the top 10 if not the top 5.

Boyne:Who would be your top 10 guitarists of all time?  In no particular order.

Great question. In no particular order: Peter Green, Walter Trout, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeff Healey, Keith Richards, Elmore James, Buddy Guy, Django Reinhardt. Richard Thompson and Danny Bryant. 

Knowing me I'd probably change the list in a month's time.

And you?

One of my favourite Richard Thompson songs. A classic motorcycle.

Some great guitarists. Like you I could have listed many more. Bonnie Raitt would be one of those.
