Does anyone else remember this influential blues guitarist ? Another part of my growing up in the 60's gone.

Him with the white hair?...yep
All the surviving greats from our youth will soon be gone.

Here's another who is no longer with us...Alvin Lee, who died in 2013. I saw him live in Swansea when I was about 17-18 :::

my youthful greats are rapidly disappearing.

Never seen anyone else play the guitar with a drumstick !

Another, more famous appearance by Alvin Lee, this time Woodstock...rock music gold here ! Alvin and Johnny may be gone but their music lives on after them !

My last post this morning, as the Yorkshire Wolfhound is well overdue for walkies ! This time from someone who is, thankfully, still with us... Carlos Santana !

I just spent a nostalgic hour listening to the Blues Project...any one familiar with them? I wore out 'Wake me,Shake me' on their Projections album...sorry can't post YouTube video from my tablet.

RIP Johnny. I used to like his brother Edgar as well ( also an Albino ).

Thanks andy...I hadn't realised.

Neither did I know that Alvin Lee had died last year, until this morning. A very great favourite of mine when I was a boy.
