Nice Bream clip and what a beautiful lute! I can always enjoy listening to Peter G.. Youtube shoved this one into my "chosen for you" directory today. lol Good pick. I kind of like Doogie White. He has a good stage presence if not the best voice . And Richie, of course, as usual - the best.

and this one - no guitar unless you count G.E.Smith, but one of my favorites just the same. I've got a bad feeling I posted this on the Muzak thread way back when, but it's good enough to bump up. From "Live at the Apollo"

Well beth, you know how I am about Ritchie, nuff said!
Hall and Oates were a clever duo and they certainly knew how to write a good hook.
Here's some early Gary Moore circa 1972 or so. 'Grinding Stone' was his solo debut and its one of Moore's most overlooked albums. This track is called Spirit, its around 15 minutes long so its in two parts.

Hi'ya First listen, I wasn't sure I liked Spirit - sounded progressive, unusual percussion (to me). So, I let it settle and gave it another chance. Obviously, it's good. It may take another time or two for me to come to terms with it, but I'll go for that. Must admit I'd heard of him before but not sure where or why. Thanks for the re-introduction. This one is just so very easy on my ears I'll put up with a video that can give you motion sickness. Best bet might be to turn off the sight and keep the sound. I read a comment by someone on another board that blues guitar is the easiest to play. Do you agree? I wonder because not many seem to be able to equal PG's style.

Fret, do you have Peter Green's Destiny Road album? Trying to make up my mind if it's something I need.

Moore often filled in for Thin Lizzy and was in Skid Row with Phil Lynott. He's also played with Colosseum. I don't have Destiny Road and I wouldn't really recommend it. His guitar playing definitely shows flashes of the old brilliance in spots, yet overall its a little disappointing. But that's only my opinion. Try this one, beth

Blodwyn Pig...
A quirky detour of late '60s British progressive/blues rock, BP was founded by former Jethro Tull guitarist Mick Abrahams (who left Tull after the This Was album).

I like both those - the second a little better. The guy playing sax for Gary Moore looks like Van Morrison's sax player during his '94 tour. Do you know his name?

Nice track, beth. I think I'm trying too hard, so chill with this...

Agreed. Me too. Coming up with new ones every day or so does not give us time to enjoy the ones we have. I love that one, btw. Here's something to share. Some of the people who post a lot of videos by the performers I like have great channels. This is one - a lady in Sweden. I got interested because she posts so much by Peter Green. Here's a link to her page, click the "see all" and - voila! - over a hundred vids - mostly very good. www.youtube.com/user/stoffe2

You know, he's pretty good. I've never heard him before - or heard of him for that matter. Shall need to go to YT and search with a quick stop at Wiki on the way. Must have been strumming away out there somewhere during my Hall & Oates years.

I know - I'm a little surprised, too. Read his Wiki and he was all over the place for quite a while. It's fun to catch up with some of these people. In 1984, with a few exceptions - if it wasn't on MTV I might not have noticed.

After Peter Banks found himself replaced in Yes by Steve Howe, he set his sights on creating a new band. This is from 1972 and, yes, its progressive!

Well, no, I am not familiar with this group. lol I'd never heard of Yes until they came out with Owner of a Lonely Heart. The guitar work and percussion are great. I'm less taken with the vocals. This is classic, and I've long believed Joe's version is the best.

oh yeah Stevie Ray He's often kind of like the ghost in the room when guitarists are the subject. It's hard not to wonder - given all he accomplished in his short life - how much further he could have gone. I like this one tho' it was a toss up between this and Little Wing

I know Little Wing is a 'popular' choice, but for me this is Hendrix at his best.
