The day the music died.

If you like Stevie Ray...listen to some of his little brother's stuff...not the same as Stevie's steel but very fine guitar work...
Jimmie Vaughn...
(formerly of 'The Fabulous Thunderbirds')...there are a few sessions on YT where Stevie sits in with the T-birds...

Correction...should read "older brother"...

OK

I miss Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Stevie Ray is still my favorite guitarist. I like a lot of different music styles; he's still at the top of my list. I saw him once it Sacramento, Ca; it was epic!

Fortunate to have Youtube and other media to watch artists that are gone; there are great SRV videos out there.

Now I think Molly Tuttle, and Billy Strings, are two of the best guitarist out there currently.

I worked for about 10 years for an electronics company that made music equipment. Their Ampeg line of bass amps and speaker cabinets were, and still are, very popular with big name artists. I got to meet a lot of famous musicians over the years, either visiting the factory in St. Louis or at industry trade shows. I'd say that 99% or better are really decent people, just regular guys playing music. However, the handful that you read about in the news and tabloids all the time ... that's not an act. Some of those guys are just a-holes.

Yep. But some are just flaky, not intentional. A lot of times what makes famous people so interesting is that they are, indeed, different from the norm.

Yep. I've listened to him. Good stuff.

On that note, anyone that can play anything is better than I.

I did master a few tunes on the flutophone though.

I'm pretty good with a tambourine...and not bragging but I've been called a virtuoso on the kazoo...!

 

[MossRoad]

Kazoos are great if you forget the words.

Joe Bonamassa!

I like Joe. Actually, I really like his show on Sirius's BB King channel; his descriptions and details about various artists and music are really interesting.

I stick by my previous comment though Molly Tuttle and Billy Strings are exceptional guitarist Different genres, great musicians

Mark Knopfler is also one of the greats, as is Eric Clapton.
