Guitarists - LONNIE MACK

 I was reading Stevie Ray Vaughan on guitar influences and amongst the blues masters like BB King, Albert King and others he mentioned Lonnie Mack who I did not know certaonly not from back in the day and don’t think he ‘travelled' to the degree we had heard of him over here like Link Wray and others . . . but this is why Stevie mentioned him

Lonnie Mack - Wham

Stevie Ray says he bought this when it came out and he played it over and over again until he could play it himself . . . no turning back from there!

and this one may explain why he didn’t travel so well . . . . . . in a nutshell!

 BLIMEY Seven and Half Gig of HEAVEN!?

An influence upon every great guitarist EVER Lonnie it is worth remembering played upon The Doors' Roadhouse Blues' playing bass to Robbie's lead with harp played by John Sebastian. Lonnie did NOT play lead as is often referred to but imagine being a young Krieger playing alongside the Elektra in house guitarist of his blues dreams. 
I'd have given a limb to have sat in on those sessions
