Re: Rory Gallagher RIP June 14th
The first time I saw Rory was in the mid seventies. He opened for Kansas in a tiny (and very aged) gymnasium where I went to college. Well, almost opened for Kansas. Rory tore it up so well that the electrical system in the building conked out after his set. At least it was after he was done.
Downside, they couldn't ever get things straightened out for Kansas to follow. Upside, I saw a killer Rory set for the whopping total of $5, as part of the ticket price was refunded. And though it's not Rory related, earlier that day I played some pool with a couple of the Kansas band members and crew, as they killed time waiting for the show that night. Like a private "meet & greet".
I've still got my Rory on vinyl, time to give it a spin.
Play like you've worked at it, and don't worry about sounding like your influences. You can't cheat on them, or your practice, anyway. If you've worked hard at your skill, your audience will know it.
