I play guitar and can't tell you how much I idolized this man during my life of playing. Guitarist, performer and an amazing man, he will be missed by many
I saw him in Worcester, MA (I think it was) once almost 15 years ago. It was a special pleasure and an honor to see one of the great musical legends of all time.
I was once lucky enough to see him play live when he was a guest on David Letterman show. He played during every commercial break and he was terrific. That was back in the spring of 88.
