Yup, another great musician and guitarist extraordinaire, Gary Moore, passed away in Spain on Feb 6 2011.

Apparently it was of natural causes and there are no suspicious circumstances, which is great to know.  I'm just so glad that he didn't go the way of o many rock stars/performers, via drugs and/or alcohol.

RIP Gary Moore your presence and immense talent will be sorely missed.

Yup, 'Still Got the Blues' does it for me, but the song that got me hooked was Parisienne Walkways with Phil Lynott.  That song just melts into my senses and takes me to places far away... beautiful.

It's like one commenter on YouTube queried... if at the time these two wondered just how special they are.

And Phil Lynott passed on 4 Jan 1986 aged 36, so both are no longer with us.

Hopefully they're jamming together right now up there in the Great Gig in the Sky..
