Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Love this guy's creativity and skill . . . the middle number in this medley, starting at about 1:47 reminds me of his early CDs, just after Fender signed on as a sponsor.

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | Y'all know my hero is an unassuming fellow named Bob Peterson, who gave us our Gertrude. He's my hero because he taught me to play, for free--no formal lessons, just a sit-down-with every once in awhile to explain something I needed to know. He is also a hospice chaplain, who takes a guitar to work with him every day to play for and encourage those facing the most difficult transition of all. He has essential tremor syndrome now, which medication can't quite control, so his best playing days are behind him--the last time we got together he said that I now can play better than he does. :( :(
Sure, those incredibly-gifted, well-known players can be adored all over the place, and I know that they've earned it--but Bob built time into my life, and it's thanks to him that I can play at all; he will always be my hero. |
