First off, I must apologize for these damn BIG apostrophe marks! Nothing I can do about them except change my site theme and that’s not gonna happen so please excuse me. Here’s a guest post I did for Songshine Sounds. It was an honor and a thrill. I just love doing this stuff! I hope you enjoy my post; the best is yet to come! 🎶
Welcome once again to Flashback Track Friday. Each week, one of us will present a song to you, and out of that song, will prompt you with a question.
Another guest post today from the wonderful Nancy, The Sicilian Storyteller. And what a treat we have this week! Over to you, Nancy.
Time for a little Slowhand… and by that I mean Eric Clapton, one of the most successful and influential guitarists of our generation. Rolling Stone Magazine’s List of“The100 All-Time Greatest Guitarists” ranked Clapton #2 – no small feat. Can you guess who came in #1? I think I’ll save that icon for another post.
Now I’m sure most of you would associate Clapton with Cream – and you’d be right – but did you know that was not the first group he belonged to? Like most famous guitarists, Clapton started out playing with local bands and in…

As weird as that threesome was, I can understand it happening. And they were very cool about it. George said it just sort of happened and he was no one to point fingers so he couldn’t really blame them. All quite civilized! Glad to know you enjoyed the post and there were no kinks on your side. Thanks, D! Appreciate your thoughts.

Given that it’s Rolling Stone, #1 is Jimi Hendrix. Wonder where (or if) they ranked Terry Kath, who impressed the hell out of Hendrix?

Of course you’re right about Hendrix, John. I don’t have an answer for you re Terry Kath of ‘Chicago’ who Hendrix called “the best guitarist in the universe” (doesn’t get much better than that!) With a little research, though, it shouldn’t be too hard to find out Kath’s ranking on Rolling Stone. I’ll take a look; I suspect you’ll do the same. 🎸

Well, John, I have an update for you. As you surmised, Terry Kath is NOT on Rolling Stones list of 100 greatest guitarists and after hearing this (which Kath co-wrote), I have to ask “What are the people at Rolling Stone smoking?”

He was incredible. Just incredible. And it doesn’t seem to make a difference. My favorite example is “Poem 58” off their first album. It starts with a five-minute jam between Terry, Pete Cetera and Danny Seraphine. The music just flows out of him.
