"...the music you make is shaped by what you play it on ... if you feel that you're not getting enough out of a song, change the instrument - go from an acoustic to an electric or vice versa, or try an open tuning ... do something to shake it up..." ~ Mark Knopfler / Dire Straits

"Sam Phillips always encouraged me to do it my way, to use what ever other influences I wanted, but never to copy ... that was a great rare gift he gave me: believe in myself, right from the start of my recording career... if there hadn't been a Sam Phillips, I might still be working in a cotton field"~ Johnny Cash

"Duane Allman inspired the group to explore the extended jam format that was already a staple of the Allman Brothers act. Moreover, his ferocious slide playing motivated Clapton to turn in some of the finest guitar performances of his career" ~ Bobby Whitlock

"It's not how much you play, it's what you play and where you play it"~ James Burton

" I feel a great responsibility to deliver for our audience ... I am like their servant, but there's only one honest way to lift people up, which is to feel genuinely elevated yourself. And the way to do that is follow your heart. That's all we try to do."~ Trey Anastasio / Phish

"At a beach house in Malibu that the Buffalo Springfield had rented, I set up my big amps, we (Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Miles, Bruce Palmer and Steven Stills) ... just went. We played quite literally for twenty straight hours. We must have made up fifty songs, but there was no tape running, no nothing, we just played for the ocean .... and that night I really started to learn how to play lead guitar"~ Steven StillsI wish I had been invited to that one.

Never heard of that one.Hendrix is the man, but Neil Young and Steve Stills are pretty darn good in their own right! Ern

Yeah, Ern, what a night that must have been. I've been a Stills fan most of my life. I saw him walk on stage solo one night with an acoustic guitar and a banjo, it was one of the most entertaining nights of my life. I couldn't clap long enough or loud enough. "Great" doesn't begin to describe him.

"Great" doesn't begin to describe him.Wasn't there a record with Steve Stills and Mike Bloomberg (?) on opposite sides? Some guitar oriented album.I remember some article that called Stills' vocals "moderately O.K." or some such B.S. Man, Stills sang like a bird! (sure, maybe on pot or tequila etc.! HeHeh! --- Remember on "Black Queen" (live) he gave a nod to Jose Cuervo!) He has a really unique voice.I love Neil Young, too. A real artist.Ern
