A giant has fallen

That video was awesome Dave.  I'm not sure I didn't see an ashtray catch fire in the background at some point (or maybe those were just the special effects of the day ).  I was watching his lesson for Smokestack Lightning.  Just incredible to see someone put so much expression in just a few notes.  I think I could work for half a year and never play it right.  Sometimes it seems a person's hands have such a life of their own.  A great loss.

I read this the other day in the paper, and was bummed, for sure.  He influenced many other legends, himself, not the least of which was Jimi Hendrix, himself.
