Now I've got Parisian Walkways going round in my head! I shll check out Peter Green. In fact, I think I've got some splinter group stuff somewhere. On ancient vinyl. I went to see Bonnie Raitt a few years back and was pretty blown away by her. Didn't realise she was such a good blues/slide guitarist.

Ah, no offence to poor old Peter, but Splinter Group isn't a patch on the old PG fleetwood mac stuff. Peter suffered a mental breakdown after some heavy LSD action in the early 70's. He was never the same since that and although Splinter Group was a very noble venture, I would say it was more of a rehab exercise than anything. He really wasn't up to much in terms of his playing. I'm not too familiar with Bonnie, I'll check her out. Love findng new music!

Me too. I've just discovered Robert Randolph and the Family Band. Sort of blues/funk - but he plays the steel guitar and I've never seen anyone outside of C&W play it. Pretty good :-) I shall leave my LSD induced muzak in the suitcase in the garage for now then.
