I'm trying to get legislation passed making it a law that requires 1960's go-go dancers in mini-skirts to be placed on every street corner, supermarket, railroad station, office complex, apartment building, shopping mall, intersection, bakery, toll booth, police station, post office, diner, hardware store ,and my apartment.

Everything about Freddie is unique, guitar strap over his right shoulder, picking with thumb, distortion, Freddie had the whole package. Without Freddie there would be no Clapton, Freddie has influenced, no, make that, taught them all, but he is still and always will be the originator. I was lucky to have met him and played on a show with him & Grand Funk Railroad.

This stuff is required listening for any blues player. Timing... phrasing... he can't be ignored...

@TheThepurplebird Maybe it was a Texas thing.

I noticed playing over the right shoulder allows you to play behind your back/head a lot easier. Not sure if this is related at all.

@rskurow I think he may also have had a say in Bruno Mars' hair-cut... though we'll let that one slide......

They also must wear knee length boots.
