We lost another great one. His "Hills of Indiana" album from 1971 was one of my all time favourites.

Sorry about that one, folks. I'm pretty sure this link will work.

I haven't listened to any Lonnie Mack stuff for many years - but I always had a soft spot for his version of "Memphis". And that Flying-V with the Bigsby fitted on to a bar was wild!

Have still got a scratched 45rpm copy of "Memphis" - never did get round to finish learning how to play it.

It must be one of the "set pieces" for those learning to play rock guitar.
