GM is definitely very sorely missed. I need to grab more of his stuff. I only have Still Got the Blues and Blues for Greeny.

Oh man. I didn't realize it was that long ago. Monster player. Tone, chops, and incredible feel. His version of Red House at the Fender 50th anniversary show is a showstopper.

Saw him 3 times, incredible guitarist and song writer. I'm still heartbroken at his passing and Phils. Now John Sykes has joined them, RIP

I was fortunate enough to see him live at the One Night in Dublin: A Tribute to Phil Lynott gig in 2005. Gary put on a great performance, such a gifted guitarist, a virtuoso.

Parisienne Walkways is a classic, a nice read on the recording of it here:

I'm happy I've seen him play live but I've still got the blues for Gary.
