Thread Name: Lonnie Donegan's guitarists
Subject: RE: Lonnie Donegan's guitarists.....
good , better, best... they were all damn good.

Lonnie and his guitarists were an inspiration to us all.

Is that last group still together doing the second half of the show with the two sons? Whe I saw them, they seemed slighly heavier in sound than when they were with Lonnie. And that suited them fine.

I remember Over on the New Burying Ground as particularly fine.

I saw Lonnies last gig in Nottingham, and afterwards I felt guilty - he was so good! I enjoyed it so much. And yet if he hadn't tried so hard that last night - perhaps he would still be here.
