That quote at the beginning of the video says something I love about Rory..."Don't get crushed there...watch your back." I am in my 60's and just heard of him in the last year but, man, this guy was special. You just feel the joy that he has to give when he is playing...like he wants to share a gift with you. I wish I could have been friends with him. You are missed...thanks for what you gave...

Couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you for elevating rory and giving him the credit he so rightly deserves. There are millions of good guitarists and a lot of greats but there's only one goat. The man himself. Ladies and gentlemen I give you rory Gallagher. Best damn guitarist ever. In my humble opinion

I saw one of his last shows in the States in Hermosa Beach California. As I was walking into the club so was Rory and I almost bumped in to him. People were crowding him. When we were side by side, I had a Herco Heavy pick that I have always used since beginning to play. It was because of him that I play with a Herco. Anyway, I asked him to trade picks and he said yes (a tradition with guitarists) And handed him mine. He did a double take and asked what's the use and laughed handing me his. I told him this one was from him and had mojo. A treasure to me. As he stepped away he said, "this is the one I'm using tonight". MY PICK!!!
