Another great Fleetwood Mac Guitarist, the late Danny Kirwan doing Dragonfly with the band

Veering a bit more off, but a couple deserved mentions. Les Paul, his work developing a solid body guitar is well known, but he was the first to develop multi track recording. Check out his work with Mary Ford, they owned the charts before Elvis took over. Worth a good google if you find that kind of thing interesting.

Even further back, Django Reinhardt, 2 fingered wizard back when the strings were heavy gauge only.

If your are not familiar, worth a look, and some good listening to history.

I have recordings by both Django Reinhardt and Les Paul. Both are great and influential of course.

If I had to name one guy who started it all it would probably be Lonnie Johnson.

And what about T-bone Walker, Charlie Christian, the list goes on.

Was Boston posted on this thread? I've been listening to this album for the past couple of days...what an album! I feel every song on it was a freaking hit. "When I'm tired and thinking cold I hide in my music, forget the day And dream of a girl I used to know...I closed my eyes and she slipped away She slipped away."

How pathetic is my life. I remember when Foreigner and Little River Band did a double bill at college in 1976 or 1977. They each were basically unheard of with Foreigner having their first hit on the radio. The ticket price? $5.00 for campus students. I passed on it, how stupid was that? Later the campus brought in Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Saw that one it was so/so. Around 1979 the campus brought in Fleetwood Mac, I think tickets were $25 wanted to go badly, didn't have $25 though. In 1976 the campus brought in a "solo" artist whom I had never heard of called Dan Fogelberg. Around 1980 I was dating a gal who introduced me to his music. If I could only go back in a time machine.
