. . . when Clapton played Little Red Rooster . . . . . . alongside Keith and Woody. And the only reason I didn't go was that I couldn't get the day off. 😔

... with a very challenging Theme for this WS edition. I’m very far for your musical knowledge but I enjoy so much listening guitar players. Spanish guitar is very popular in my Country and with deep roots in our folklore music since times of our South Am...  

I’ve been missing the sea so much too! Haven’t been near the sea for more than two years. Now I’m having a couple of weeks holidays and enjoying the feeling of salt water, sand and sun! I really needed this! Un abrazo amigo mio!! Buen fin de semana! Abel ... 

. . . and while I've little experience with Spanish music, there was a record I used to play endlessly when we were both watching Sea Hunt . The Kingston Trio are largely forgotten today, but in the late '50s and early '60s were one of the most popular ac...  

... the Kingston Trio was also popular here in the early 60’s and I also remember listening them. Same era of Sea Hunt of course! Guitar is a very popular instrument here which is no surprise considering our Spanish roots. I had an uncle (Mom’s brother) w... 

Gee, where to start with this one? I've been into rock music for as long as I can remember, and there are so many guitar players I admire. Let's start with the obvious, Jimi Hendrix, who's probably the first name that comes to mind, due to his sheer virtu...  

Only band where lyrics and music went together in perfect harmony. Needles to say, that they are everyday on my mind ...

. . . then some. Jimi is in a class by himself, no doubt. I mean, who else . . . . . . could turn a mandolin into a lead instrument?

. . . are Ballad of a Thin Man . . . . . . Lay Lady Lay . . . . . . and Shelter From the Storm. Funny thing happens whenever Lady comes on: four or five guys will walk out to the back for a few minutes, then return with big smiles on their faces. 😎

. . . is me.

. . . is a fabulous player in his own right.

Try "Burning Hell" ...  

. . . Seagull . If Hank and Eric had a son, it would be Joe. ;-)

So here's my trusty Seiko SKX007 with the Brian May mod. The original Seiko is the SRPE83 "Brian May" edition, with a dial inspired by May's guitar, the Red Special. I loved the dial, but preferred a black chapter ring, plus I was getting a bit bored with...  

. . . I've been told. I was at the Rainbow a few years ago on a Sunday night when I noticed the DJ playing several Queen songs consecutively. I asked the bartender why. Kim said, "Turn around." Brian May was just leaving - he'd had his birthday celebratio... 

...  

. . . that's new to me. Listening to tracks . . . . . . now. Mainly Spanish?

Page and the other Jimmy, Hendrix, the great Carlos Santana, Muddy Waters, Jeff Beck, Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, and the one and only STEVIE RAY VAUGHN! Some favourite songs from them: “Thank you” from the very first supergroup of the world: Samba Pa T...

Romeo and Juliet remains one of my favourite Dire Straits songs. His unique guitar style elevates the song tremendously!

And with a very good taste for watches, seeing the beauty he purchased from you.

. . . at The Forum in Los Angeles. The thinking man's guitarist, in my humble opinion.

Thin Lizzy’s Stone Cold Sweat! Parisian Walkways, what’s ballad...with the other master Phil Lynott Fond memories, RIP Gary Moore! Cheers, Tim

Fond memories come flooding back thinking about it. Cheers, Tim

Thin Lizzy Cold Sweat

I also forgot to mention! Still got the blues, Parisienne Walkways, what wonderful songs! Yours, Adam

Very nice

… second to none. Nuff said. Cheers, HSTE

. . . Whiskey in the Jar gets tapped every so often Wednesday afternoons at Maggie's. Art

I mentioned it to you before and your pick shows it also.

. . . where he essentially said that he considered the Stones - which he formed, by the way - as an R&B band. A brilliant musician, Jones - played several instruments naturally, including . . . . . . the recorder, of all things . . .

This is the opener (!), with blazing guitar sounds and a manificent tention in the song, all exploding at 4:00 minutes in that video. And if I ever feel sluggish, well after shaking to that video no more. Second solo at 03:05! The story: my first smoke I ...  

Steve Stevens was with Billy Idol, at least I know him from then? Also the guitar of "Dirty Diana" from Michael Jackson? Have to look deeper to it

Highway to Hell, Back in Black and For Those about to Rock are seminal albums from my youth. '79, '80 & '81 the peak for me of ACDC! That music sticks with one for a lifetime. Memory Lane is good today ;-) Cheers, Tim

I could post dozens of amazing solos. Just in case you dont know it I recommend you Jailbreak, live version. 🎸🎸🎸

. . . to be played next Wednesday on Maggie's jukebox ;-) . . .

. . . wearing a vintage version of your Omega, Count - see you there in spirit, and who knows, maybe next year in reality!

. . . but will have a Corona just for you, Count ;-) . . .

. . . and post it when I return home, Count - possibly on F&W.

. . . so here's a fresh early morning photo for you. 1948 Omega ref 2499, popularly known as The Centenary, the first auto chronometer ever. And for your eyes only: last night at The Rainbow . . . . . . with friends. Our table was reserved for Judy Garlan...  

Who thought that, but if I let it sink in a while then it makes sense 😀. That is a lovely 2499😍.

. . . The Villa Nova back then, under different ownership. Garland passed away a few years before the restaurant transitioned to The Rainbow under current ownership of the Magliere family. Oh, and played every night at closing: . . . . . . and in keeping ...

. . . you are. ;-)

currently with me for more pics. The Guild Brian May was made in two technically different versions. Mine if from the 2nd batch. Not many made. More red ones were made than the green. And back to guitarists, I'd like to add Frank Zappa to my list. Pull up...  

be switched in or out of phase. If you aren't familiar with the details of Brian and his dad building the Red Special its a story that's worth looking up. I don't believe either had been to luthier school.

superb guitars. I wonder how many watch purchases have prevented acquiring one!

. . . my foray into GO. There was only so much money to go around . . .

I generally look at a band as a whole, so that bit of the answer will be a bit of a challenge. But in a good sporting spirit, let’s say Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits. As for watch, that’s easier: Have a great weekend, Art! Will be as close to your ances...  

. . . with one of his heroes. Warmest, Art

I might be in a very different life stage now and don’t listen to it often anymore but it’s time for a rerun 😊👍🏻
