This morning's SF chronicle at http:www.sfgate.com has an obit for Sandy Bull.
I haven't heard his name in years. Quite an inventive player.

I recently picked up "Re-Inventions" and was thrilled. His albums had been long lost, after wearing the grooves thin in the early 70's. I thought he had disappeared, too, until I found that CD. At a time when most of us we're plodding along, struggling to squeeze something exciting out of mere guitars, he was soaring on (seemingly)anything with strings.
Like John Fahey, who was also recently lost to this realm, he was way far ahead of us, smiling and pointing the way. 30 years later I am still not skilled enough to follow. Que lastima.
