One song that has been done by all the guitar greats is Little Wing. Who did it best? Stevie Ray Vaughn? Clapton? Hendrix? Duane Allman? You decide!
First Jeff Healey, who passed away earlier this year, then Eric Clapton and others performing “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”
The world of rock has given us some truly great guitar players and these are two of my favorites!
Loved this tune as a teenager, and it is still a great tune. Your Wednesday night forgotten Southern rock
Good clean fun!

The lovely and talented Michelle Malkin has the scoop!
Akon’s ad nauseum claims about his criminal career and resulting prison time have been, to an overwhelming extent, exaggerated, embellished, or wholly fabricated, an investigation by The Smoking Gun has revealed. Police, court, and corrections records reveal that the entertainer has created a fictionalized backstory that serves as the narrative anchor for his recorded tales of isolation, violence, woe, and regret. Akon has overdubbed his biography with the kind of grit and menace that he apparently believes music consumers desire from their hip-hop stars.While the performer’s rap sheet does include a half-dozen arrests, Akon has only been convicted of one felony, for gun possession. That 1998 New Jersey case ended with a guilty plea, for which the singer was sentenced to three years probation. Another 1998 bust, this one in suburban Atlanta, has been seized upon by Akon and transformed into the big case that purportedly sent him to prison (thanks to his snitching cohorts) for three fight-filled years. In reality, Akon was arrested for possession of a single stolen BMW and held in the DeKalb County jail for several months before prosecutors dropped all charges against him.
So there was no conviction. There was no prison term between 1999 and 2002. And he was never “facing 75 years,” as the singer claimed in one videotaped interview.
Akon’s invented tales appear to be part of a cynical marketing plan, but one that has met with remarkable success.
What does it say about rap, it’s “artists”, and it’s consumers, when being a thug is a big time selling point?
Marshall Tucker. “Can’t You See” Still great 35 years later
The late, great Toy Caldwell
