This Week on Musicians Radio.com
Legends are not necessarily famous people.
Sometimes they are people who have avoided fame. Guitarist Ted Greene didn't want fame. He just wanted to know as much as he could about music, playing the guitar, and a few other things like baseball.Fame would have interfered with all that.
Sometimes he would play gigs. That' s what guitar players do. But he would never tell anyone before hand. He just wanted to play. He also wrote some books on guitar which still stand as rites of passage to a higher level of playing
Mostly what he did was teach. And for that he became a legend. Very few teachers get a cult following like Ted - a following that continues to grow even two years after his death.
This week on Musicians Radio GTR-B-Q host Mark Goldenberg and his guest Tom Bocci will look back on the life of guitar legend Ted Greene.
Tom has put together a tribute record for his life-long friend called Ted Greene Remembered and it features friends and students of Ted.Make no mistake about it "friends and students" of Ted Greene are some of the best guitarists around. And we'll hear from some of them as well.
We'll also say farewell to singer, drummer, member of Electric Flag, and Band of Gypsy's - Buddy Miles who passed away last week in Austin.
We'll also say farewell to singer, drummer, member of Electric Flag, and Band of Gypsy's - Buddy Miles who passed away last week in Austin.I heard that the night before he passed away, through his cell phone, he heard Eric Clapton playing his song "Them Changes" live at Madison Square Garden. Clapton had added the song to his set as a tribute to Buddy.
