Way before my time, but Hendrix was #1!
I'm Libertarian for these 3 reasons:
1.) I'm American
2.) I'm not insane enough to be Democrat
3.) I'm not wussy enough to be Republican

You must have missed my election coverage.  Traffic is at all time highs. It's hard to see everyone. rb Naw, I caught it. Too bad the rest of your state, and both of mine, didn't.

Saw Buddy at Spice in Hollywood about fifteen years ago. Man he was good, until he started to get sick. When he went backstage to get well, they played some old video of Billie Holliday that still rocks my world.
She was dopin' too (in the video), and when Buddy came back, he was good again. Great show.

Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.

Just for conversation's sake...

I'd also add, that though some consider the Wyndham Hill posse typecast and formulaic, that Ackerman, Harkness, de Grassi, Cullen and Hedges don't exactly suck...

Andres Segovia, Laurindo Almeda, Charo...she studied with Segovia and isn't all "cuchi-cuchi"...a wonderful guitarist.  ...and Parkening, too...I saw him when he was just starting out at a recital at U of NV many years ago. Forgot to add Roy Clark, a master of anything with strings...amazing!

years back in Guitar magazine Clapton was asked what he thought about being picked as the greatest guitarist ever, He said nope it's not me it's Phil Keaggy, anyone that has seen him play knows what he was talking about.

Here's one of the best guitarists you've never heard of.Most famous for being Eddie Van Halen's hero,and his famous statement,"I don't really like the guitar to tell you the truth." Allan HoldsworthMntngoat, Clapton did not say that-Hendrix did,and it's disputed if he even said it in the first place.Keaggy is a superb player though,particularly when he was with The Glass Harp. In reality,it's well documented that Hendrix's favorite guitarist was Billy Gibbons. WB.
