The aga theme song! I wonder why so much of the Rory footage is in B&W. The original source for all the B&W must be the same. Pete

For years that was the only Rory Gallagher song I’d ever heard, and I thought it was called, "When Did You Ever?" They used to play it all the time on late night radio in Augusta when they had a kind of rogue station run by local rock freaks.

If there was anything close to justice in everyday human affairs, Rory would have taken the place of Eric Clapton in the public’s mind sometime in the early to mid 70s. While Clapton abandoned us to chase something he couldn’t seem to find (and wasn’t very exciting musically AT ALL), Rory just kept on making screaming good music that blows me away. He wasn’t Eric, and he wasn’t Peter Green. But he was incredible, and he never abandoned his fan base, either.

Rory had a pretty good bag of tricks. A lot of it’s being taught by now, but I doubt that most people know that Rory did this stuff decades ago. Nobody around me was even aware of Rory. When I’d bring him up, I’d get this…… "WHO???" thing all the time. But they’d all heard of Clapton. Guess I hung with the wrong crowd. Pete

RG was a guitar player’s guitar player.

Folks like him..Mick Ronson, and the like shammed us kidds into dismay. I just couldn’t believe anyone could do it so easy..so effort-less. SRV too, I was never really into his music, ditto Jimi, but ya had to drool at the pure flocking TALENT they had. Ron Wood too. Way back when, man he had it. Still does. I think back on all the ’stars’ I met over the years (a book in the works,maybe..?) and every one I ever met (3 Beatles too..hey Ringo, let’s do lunch!) was just a kool dude. Some sucked (ELP n a 3-pu LP Lake stole) yet others (selling Zappa the GMT amp on the Roxy cover) made it all worth while. RD (Who fame, HInn, Cambridge) & S/Comf as he bought the 12string EKO/RuDell axe, that Zappa said sucked raw. The day the Who were set to play 2 nights at the Boston Garden, some sport thingie ruined it, and they played 5 nights at the Boston Music Hall. I was there..stacking Sunn Col PA shit with Pete, Alan, and Ox. We drank all night afterwards. I know someone took pix, but I ain’t got any. Standing behind the Hiwatt stack and Ox’s Sunn. Orgasm. Ask ANYONE who has been lucky enough to have the chance to be in a place. I was pure fucking blessed. And that was even B4 I loved Jesus.. I got to get up and move about. But I’ll be back… JJT ….ok, I got a few emails telling me how full of shit someone thinks I am. I’ll just say, that I don’t care. I have the history, and can back it up. If those folks think it’s BS, then that is YOUR red-wagon. I’m an old fart that lived a blessed life where you kids now wanted to be, if you were not "..Born Late.." I found old Merson paper, when for $5k I became *THE* Marshall dealer, yet I had to buy Univox, paper from GMT/GK when I slep’ed their wares (great shit) by BUS all over the nothe-east. Wanna Talk Fritz-tronics. I still own the scars.. "When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all.."

Agreed. Then, a buddy of mine showed up to tell me he’d taken a "masters class" with Johnny Smith… sheee-it..! ! ! The stuff I learned *second hand* was invaluable..! ! !
