Happy birthday to Eddie Cochran, who would have been 84…

A tragic loss at such a young age like his friend Buddy Holly, he was not only a great writer, another chronicler of teen frustration, but also an ace guitarist and experimenter in the studio back when there wasn’t much to experiment with. I’ll forgo the obvious song; here’s my favorite…

He may be a technically superior guitarist, but on stage, at least for the Return To Forever 30th Anniversary tour show I attended, he had the charisma of a 2x4.

Stanley Clarke, on the other hand, is charisma personified.

That Alamy band must be huge and have frequent turn-over of members. I see all kinds of players and lots of them labeled Alamy.

I worked at the HOG in 1975, lots of bands who were touring would come to HOG at midnight after their concert.
The owners would open the store up and beer drinking and guitar/bass shopping would ensue.
They sold a lot of their vintage/more expensive stuff that way.

Yes, technically superior, but I’ve found him to be an utter bore as a player. Connors had an unpredictable edge.
