"Happy Birthday to You"
Neil Schon was another one in that vein, there was a reason he was second guitar at Woodstock at 16...
Yes, I think, unless I got my drugs mixed up
My dad taught himself guitar. Made up his own fingerings and chord names. He used to play and augment these chords into a little tune (c-am-g-f, c-am-am-g#-g) but his unorthodox fingering and strumming makes it hard to recreate his version. I’d love to hear him play that tune again
wait, what? the journey guitarist played woodstock '69?Neil Schon was another one in that vein, amazing tone , sustain (sustainiac), but still, there was a reason he was second guitar at Woodstock at 16...
Nope, look at the film again my friend.Yes, I think, unless I got my drugs mixed up
"Not that there's anything wrong with that"Schon was in Santana from 70-72. he started playing with carlos at age 15, clapton even wanted shon to join dereck and dominos but schon did not want to go to london. i cannot find anything putting him at woodstock,as he would only have been 13 years old.
Agreed, Al, "Tomorrow Never Knows" would be a good one! "It is not dying..."

Kinda continuing in the theme, I've always envisioned putting together a recording of all my favorite tunes to listen to while I wait for the moment... in some kind of logical-to-myself order.
Of course that assumes I'll be able to plan my time to cross over, or at least be aware and cognizant that it's imminent, a luxury not everybody gets to enjoy...
I'll be 64 next March.
"When I'm 64" is NOT on the playlist.
:shocked:
Possibly later, understandably it's a subject one tends to avoid dwelling on.... but the majority will definitely be instrumentals, as Stuball so artfully explained:care to share the play list?
For sure "The Fool" and "Gold and Silver" by Quicksilver Messenger Service...It is an instrumental and the "banjer," guitar, and fiddle do a run at the end of each verse. Those sounds run deep into my soul and make me feel closer to Christ than 99% of the sermons I have listened to.
Here I go again, historian that I aspire to be; Al, there is conflicting info about this, but more recent comparisons dictates that Henry Gross was the youngest with Sha-Na-Na at 18 (just turned). Michael Shrieve was 20. This might be due to the data being withheld on Henry Gross, since Michael Shrieve was known as the youngest, mostly undisputed for many decades.Nope, look at the film again my friend.
Drummer Michael Shrieve was the celebrated youngster at 19 years old.
Schon didn't join 'em until "III" :"Everybody's Everything" and "No One To Depend On" (which was the last great Santana record of my youth...I wasn't ready for the jazz-fusion of Caravanserai when it came out.)
