Everyone comes up with names of players that have a few good songs or they have a bigger library of music but they rely on their one or two good riffs. One man has gotten the name "the riff master" from his peers. Kieth Richards has come up with more memorable riffs than anyone else. No he doesn't go off on 5 minute wank sessions, he plays for the song. You only have to hear three or four bars of any of his riffs and you know the song Music washes away the dust of everyday life Some people wait a lifetime to meet their favorite hunting and shooting buddy.

No doubt Mark is right there to, along with Chet Atkins and a guy from the show Hee-Haw. You're thinking of Jerry Reed, (Smokey and the Bandit). Glen Campbell was also an excellent guitarist. 4 out of 5 Great Lakes prefer Michigan.

I saw Hendrix live at the Atlanta Pop Festival, singing The Star Spangled Banner at midnight on the Fourth of July. I also saw him once live at the Atlanta Civic Center. Once again he wasn't around for long you had to be in the right place and right time to see him live.

Love Over Gold might be my favorite album of theirs. Listen on a quality system, lights down, just enveloped in sound. I wore my copy out along with a pair of Sennheisers in college. Telegraph Road, a song written about a road in Detroit, is 14 minutes of bliss. Enjoy. "A Republic, if you can keep it." ~ B. Franklin
