Good one. Lots of good music on that guys channel. I found Uwe's favorite on there.
Oh my, that's lovely, danke! If the Purple guys had been aware of it, I'm sure they would have covered it like on their last album "Turning To Crime".
Blackmore was in awe of Nashville guitarists, he once said they can play circles around most rock guys technically.
And Steve Morse of course worships at the altar of Albert Lee (whom Blackmore also rates as a guitarist).
