The man is 14 years older than I am. I can barely snap my fingers any longer, but he still plays his guitar like a madman.
Absolutely amazing!!!

5. He departed this world several years ago.

A friend of mine was part of his “group.” She was the token “liberal” of the show.

3. Saw the Mahavishu Orchestra play at my university in early 1972

Right about the time the album The Inner Mounting Flame had been released.

Calling him an amazing guitarist is almost an understatement.

4. That's the year I saw them, too.

The opening act was an equally mesmerizing guitarist: Leo Kottke.

6. Two of the most remarkable guitarists in the past 50 years

Completely different styles, both guitar virtuosos.

7. I am jealous and you are correct.

Unworldly is more like it.
