@SIRONEDRAGON I went to GIT '83.....and my name is John Mair...but, I'm not this John Mair... ;)

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

[SIRONEDRAGON]

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!!!
