Pretty unique really: we won't see his like again.

Well, I suspect that does make him unique, Trollheart !
When I saw PoorOldPo`s post of
Cradle Rock, I was hoping for the live version which is the opening track of the
Irish Tour album; have you heard that one ? If you want an example of a lone guitar hero coming out on stage and instantly blowing everyone away, that track takes some beating.
^ I`m posting this album cover because the one fan who gets his face on the cover ( bottom right), was actually a good friend of mine at the time ! By association, am I cool or what ?!
