“If people take the time to look from the beginning, what I listened to was John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed and Lightnin’ Hopkins. Then, later on, Peter Green\ and Michael Bloomfield. They were disciples of B.B. King, and me too, except that I got away from B.B King when I discovered Gábor Szabó A lot of people came from B.B King. They also listened to Freddie King and to Albert King, but for some reason B.B. King was the centerpiece for a lot of musicians that wanted to play the blues. I think it was due to his honesty, the rawness of his playing, and his heart.“To me, Gábor was a very, very elegant gypsy guitarist. He was Hungarian, from Budapest. I learned a lot from him, especially because of the way he played with Willie Bobo, Victor Pantoja and Chico Hamilton. His playing was very, very different. In San Francisco at that time, everybody was listening to the Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and Janis Joplin. But I was listening to Gábor Szabó a lot, and Wes Montgomery.“Peter Green was a very good friend. I miss him terribly. I’m grateful that we toured together a lot of times. You know, he would catch a plane and he would just appear and play with Santana. He would leave Fleetwood Mac for a little bit, and then he will come sit in with us. I identify with the way he played the guitar because he was very lyrical. The only other person that is like that was Gary Moore. A lot of musicians play guitar, but very few people get deep, deep, deep, into the guitar, like Gary Moore, Peter Green, and myself. But again, we all came from B.B. King. BB King is the guy.”

So we’ll start the working week with my affectionate message to everyone! Do What Neil Finn suggests and take the rest of the day off. . . . my best advice!!
Neil Finn - Take The Rest of The Day Off
(Peter Green)
"Today’s Marky’s YouTube Day (it was a Wednesday but who’s counting?). Neil Finn-Live. It's one of those songs that tends to fall between the musical cracks and you hear it ages later and go “Boy what a great song, I’ve forgotten about this one”.
It’s Neil performing “Rest Of The Day Off”. Live at Chapel off Chapel-Prahran. January 21st 2001.
An odd show for Mark and myself as Chapel off Chapel was a 5 minute walk from our 55 Greville street Prahran home & CH office. Our beloved cat Hairball was dying that night so we stayed at home with her instead of the gig. I remember Neil & Sharon called us afterwards (Hairball the cat & Finns- Lester the dog were animal friends when we lived next door to the Finns at East St Kilda. Lester would pop his head through the cat door & eat all of Hairballs food!). So a sad night for us, but beautiful music was being made down the road.
We hope you enjoy this terrific song."
