2. Had A Friend In College, That...

...was nuts about Savoy Brown!
He was a pretty good guitar player & he sat around playing to SB records quite a bit.

3. I had a friend like that as well

He too played the guitar. He could’ve made a career bigger than barroom gigs if he wanted. I lost touch, so I’ll never know. I’ve never seen his name mentioned, well, anywhere, and it’s been some 50 years now.

5. Back Then...

...I had yet to start playing guitar. I still only played piano back then.
I started playing guitar at 19 when I graduated college. It was my grad present to myself. I wanted to lean an instrument I could carry.
But, I decided I learned to much about chords & theory to play a single note instrument, so guitar it was.
I was only a club player myself, but we were popular for many years over a pretty large region. (90 mile radius or so)
I did it until the international travel for my real job was too hard to balance with gigging. My last band was together for almost 20 years, playing 40-44 weekends each year.
Now, I just play to play, but I'm still getting better, even at 68!
If you haven't heard them, here's some stuff I have online. I play & sing everything on these.
I've recorded since, but haven't posted anything else yet.

6. I won't claim much beyond forming chords repeatedly

I was 19, at sea on deployment, and I practiced for long stretches - so much so that I developed calluses on the tips of my fretting fingers. One day (couldn’t say if it was day or night, really. Submarine and all.) I stretched the high-E string tautly and it bisected the callus of my pinky finger, cutting a little bloody groove. Hurt like the devil, it did. I never tried playing again.

4. They are pretty good!

And yes, I have played my bass to SB for hours. 😁
