Another great leaves the scene. RIP Mr Morricone. I recall Chi mai. Was'sn it the theme to a BBC drama on Lloyd George staring Phillip Maddoc. I remember it went top 3 (I think) must be about 1981.

I thought this was interesting...
Early in his career, Green played a Harmony Meteor, an inexpensive hollow-body guitar. He began playing a Gibson Les Paul with the Peter B's, a guitar which was often referred to as his "magic guitar". Though he played other guitars, he is best known for deriving a unique tone from his 1959 Les Paul. Green later sold it to Northern Irish guitarist Gary Moore for all the money Moore could get by selling his Gibson SG guitar. Green had bought the guitar after his first spell with Mayall but before joining the Peter B's, for £114 from Selmers in Charing Cross Road. In 2016, Kirk Hammett of Metallica bought the guitar for a reported $2 million. Hammett has stated that he actually paid quite a bit less than $1m for it, being in the right place when the guy who was selling it needed some cash.
In the 1990s, Green played a 1960s Fender Stratocaster and a Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion model, using Fender Blues DeVille and Vox AC30 amplifiers. Towards the very end of his playing days, the Gibson ES-165 saw more use
Kirk shows off the Green-Moore Les Paul. The one Peter is using in the Oh Well' video 50 years ago!

Steve Holland of Molly Hatchet has died at age 66. He was the last 'original' member of the group! R I P Steve. I did a replica of his black strat a few years ago and gave it to my brother as a birthday gift since Molly was one of his favorite bands.

Sad news indeed. I saw Wayne Fontana back in the day. After he split from his backing group, they had a number one hit with "Groovy kind of Love" RIP
