I guess almost 7 million hits on that vid says something.

Still got the Blues is just such a great song...in my regular rotation

pretty amazing how an american musical idiom has found fans and players all over the world.

When ya got it and can present it - BINGO. Anything that sounds good and inspires folks to play music is REALLY good.

I played a lot of "open mic blues sessions." I can't recount how many youngsters - Yes, kids, walked in and said they want to play like Gary Moore. Always gave them space to noodle. Even, on stage.

A couple of them have done really great. Best I could do. And, would I do it again? - ANYTIME!
