Brother Albert King live at the Fillmore East 1970

6/30/2011

The great Albert King!  Hendrix, Clapton and especially Stevie Ray Vaughn all owed a huge debt to this man. For each of them Albert's playing formed a core part of their sound. Albert knew Jimi long before he was famous and used to recount the time a much younger, unknown Hendrix was booed off the stage in the middle of jam. Albert himself suffered the same fate early in his career as did Robert Johnson and Charlie Parker.  Suggesting that greatness is a good deal more than talent alone.

I have seldom heard both sides of an argument articulated as well as this and with such good humor. Watch it and subscribe on You tube....you could do worse!

Faith and the nature of self delusion

6/30/2011

The power of suggestion and the capacity for self delusion is stunning!  This kind of  behavior isn't unique to religion, its what's referred to in the film industry  as "the willful suspension of disbelief".  That may be understandable in a movie....it isn't in real life!

The Great Fatsby

6/29/2011

The Great Fatsby (Leslie West). Leslie had a substantial influence on a host of young rock guitarists--myself included. Eddie Van Halen took from Leslie, tone, attack and phrasing--but very few got his feeling. A mixture of Cream era Clapton,with a healthy dose of Albert King. It was that bluesy expressiveness in his playing, coupled with a mountainous tone that made him unique.

Leslie was recently rushed to the hospital after complaining about a pain in his right leg. Unfortunately, the leg had to be amputated up to the knee  due to complications from diabetes.  Thankfully he appears to be doing well and his condition has been upgraded from serious to good.  Our prayers are with you brother.
