i was in the army with this man.i watched many of his shows. he was a master on that flying v. oh! those battle of the bands concerts where we got wasted. not to mention the sweatband
Ive never heard a flying V sound like this, usually they have a fat brassy tone. J. MAIR'S playing is EXCELLANT ! Reminds me of JIMI how He seems to be venting His wordly problems with His guitar and song! Love the way He mixes BLUES with JAZZ ! and sings along with the lead. I hv scene LOTS of other Blues legends. This is up there with the most notable! INCREDIBLY AWESOME ! Gave me goosebumps!!! Thank You MATRASKOP for the rec! Peace and LOVE , BLUES POWER as A. King would say!!!
@ villagevidiot - no, was a tragic car crash on the way back from a gig.

Did he die of lung cancer? He was a really great player. BTW it sounds like he's playing a Vibrolux IMHO.
