Al - I LOVE "Shaft" When I was seven years old I had the 8 track soundtrack for that. And that Quad Stereo My older sister and brother in law owned a record/stereo shop they used to take me there after school. I would hang around water plants and sweep. And in turn they would let me take whatever few records I wanted. But they played R&b & Soul music of the times constantly. So when I heard the orchestra opening up on Barry Whites "Love Theme" it filled my heart and soul. This is when and where I found Al Green, Earth Wind & Fire, Stevie, Barry White, The Ojay's The Spinners, Issac hayes, Curtis Mayfield, The Temps Four Tops. MArvin Teddy P, Eddie Kendricks. The Stylistics, The Main Ingredient, The Tramps and a host of others..... After that it was home to my room where my older brother played endless Rock!! Ben (I mean)- Thanks for the kind words. I too am a Floyd freak, Love just about every record they ever did. I saw Waters Hitchhiking show as well where Clapton played in his band. See that's why Eric Clapton is So GREAT! He's Eric Clapton yet you catch him in the background in someone else's project. And he moves around man! This is what John Mayer especially and Brad Paisley even more so is lacking. "Vision" and Change! And a musical journey... John Mayer should go into other groups and create an be a part of various projects. The way Clapton did with derek And the Dominoes. let me BE a guitar player then go get Duane Allman in my band!!! Let me be in a band with Steve Winwood. And in another with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. Oh and lets see Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. Let me do songs from GREAT outside writers like JJ Cale and Bob Marley. Let me throw down songs like Layla that are just timeless and both great, long lol and VERY popular. No just let today;s top most popular guitarist let guitar music die so they can date actresses and supermodels. lol Hendrix had this vision and Santana lived it. Okay I'll think about instrumentals some more.... lets talk about my boy Larry Carlton  his instrumentals Room 335 and Point It Up are incredible.
