What are you listening to?

Oh, Peter Green has died as well. It's come to that point where so many of my musical heroes are reaching the dying years. Those people who were innovators in the 60's are now over 70 themselves.

Peter Green was a liquid smooth guitar player in the blues tradition. One of the finest British players. He suffered from schizophrenia too, apparently triggered by too many LSD trips in the 60's. I hope he's found peace in the great beyond now.

Here's probably his best known recording, a number one in 1969 in the UK, an exquisite haunting instrumental entitled Albatross - really relaxing stuff.
