Goodnight, Jack
One of America's greatest guitar players, Jack Rose, has passed away. I had the great fortune of spending some time with him over the years, drinking whiskey, dodging hippies, getting joyfully cranky and crankily joyful too--and, best of all, to hear and see the man play.

Best wishes most of all to his wife, and also to the...
