        So nice to see blues and guitar centric music represented on mainstream media. If you don’t know Marcus King he is an amazing up and coming blues artist. Solo starts 2 minutes in.

          Yes it is refreshing John. I found him on Pandora a while ago.

            Never heard of him before so thanks for bring him to my attention.
            Is he native American?.

            He sure can belt out a song and make that there Tele of his sing.
            Im going to track down his other stuff.
            Cheers John and thanks again for the share.

                  I get all my political news from the late night comedy hosts with my morning coffee. Those monologues are going to be pretty dry starting Jan 20th. This came up on my YouTube feed.

                  Marcus rippin’ on his Grandpas’ old Gibson ES-345. Good old-time sounding blues/rock.

                      Didn’t know about the grandpa angle. I’m hoping that’s where my old strats end up.

                          Hey John, I hope you do pass on your love of geetars to your heirs. I can’t think of a better legacy, (hopefully you’re not going anywhere soon). Here’s a link to the story behind Marcus’s “Big Red” guitar.
