Too many of the greats slipping away... and too few greats to replace them

That's very true Diki. Although a completely different style I recently saw Dweezil Zappa play http://zappaplayszappa.com/ and I was knocked out. His Dad would have been so proud of him. He played with a bunch of ex-Mothers Of Invention musicians and played his Dad's guitar parts perfectly. Whether or not people like Frank Zappa he was a remarkable talent so it is nice to know his music lives on through his son.
