That was my nom, rocky.

Yeah, my phone ain't working, could somewhat share the videos for some choice Lonnie Johnsok tunes here for me.

This Lonnie dude was tight. He was mad original, ducking lightyears ahead of his blues and jazz contemporaries. And he was influential as hell loads of guitarists and musicians that came after including cats like Robert Johnson, Charlie Christian and Django Reinhardt. Dude innovated the fucking guitar solo for bloody sakes! Someone share the track 6/88 Glide so that you can her the first recorded guitar solos by this man Lonnie Johnson back in '27.

This dude was also very innovative on violin as well, but that's a story for a different day.

Anyway, Steve Hacket is good. But yeah Linnie is really amaIng. Check him out yall.
