My voiced comment at the title of the thread was the NOOOOOOOO uttered by Sorcha.

I bought my first guitar in 1960,an acoustic archtop.I then proceeded to buy some albums with guitars on the cover as I really didn't know of any guitarists other than Duane Eddy and the lead guitarist for the Shadows (Marvin Welch?).Naturally Iwas drawn to those beautiful Gretsches on the covers of Chet's albums.

The same as Jeepman,my first albums.

The sheer mastery of his playing reduced me to listening only as I felt he was far beyond my capability.

I still have those albums and will get them out now to commerate his passing.

Oh, Angel Band
