Christopher Mills Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I was lucky enough to run across him and Chet Atkins at an Atlanta guitar show decades ago.. they were going from booth to booth trying out playing duets on guitars they liked at the booths... a magical afternoon in the early 1990s (at site of current Screen Gems Atlanta stages) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredS Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 His performing career with Mary Ford would have been enough. His unique take on the electric guitar would have been enough. But by inventing multi-tracking he shattered the hegemony of perfection in real time. With that he singlehandedly bent the flow of history and vastly expanded what could be art. So who should I meet one year at SMPTE... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
