Brian Johnson's getting one, too! I didn't know AC/DC was used in music therapy

This seems like a bargain compared to some of the Christies stuff.
What a beautiful instrument!
I can't remember ever seeing it before. Did he ever play it in public? Those red dots are something you would normally remember.
It really hurts a bit to see it going, because it's not a working tool but a personal gift from Chet.

« Last post by qjamesfloyd on Today at 08:37:56 AM »I have now watched the Carlos Santana episode, and I agree that he doesn't look at Mark that much, which is weird, of course it was great to hear the two guitar legends play together, although Mark was just taking a back seat, which makes sense as Carlos was the focus of the show, Carlos can certainly talk though, but most of it was So Far Away from Mark's musical world.
The next series I would like:
1. David Gilmour.
2. Enya
3. Mike Oldfield.
4. Mary Chapin Carpenter.
5. Phil Collins.
6. Shania Twain.
I think you need people with a rich musical history to make the interview interesting and engaging.

« Last post by qjamesfloyd on Today at 08:23:22 AM »Another one that I think is underrated and that rarely gets spoken about is What Have I Got To Do, I adore the song, I love the tempo, and how free and relaxed Mark seems, some great guitar fills too.
