THE GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS
So many musicians from my era have been lost this year, most notably, Lemmy Kilmister, David Bowie, and Glen Frey, but lest we forget, it is five years ago today that we lost Gary Moore, one of the greatest guitar players ever born who could make that guitar gently weep like no other in its time. We've still got the blues for those greats we've lost but their music is the legacy they left behind and that makes them immortal.

Gary Moore will always have a place in my heart. My dad is a guitarist and my mum a singer. When they used to play a gig they always used to end the set with Still got the blues. I remember my dad cried when he found out about Gary Moore's passing. The song will always be special as I associate it with my childhood. My idol playing a song written by his idol.
