As you all know, the talented Gary Moore died last weekend. I have to admit to not knowing much of his solo material but even so, it was a shock when I first read he had died. I always get a strange feeling when a rock star dies; I just always see them as these immortal beings who are brilliant at playing the guitar, or drumming, or singing, or whatever else they may play; so when one dies I just get reminded that they are all normal people, like you or me. It also takes me a while just to get over their death because I know I will not be hearing any more music from them. I still don't think I've completely got over the fact that Ronnie James Dio has died, and that happened last May. It just saddens me that we'll never hear Ronnie's epic voice ever again, or Gary's excellent guitar playing. At least I'm safe in knowing that there is a great gig going on up there...
To finish, here's one of my favourite Gary Moore songs:
