He was, amazing player, sucks that we never got to see him evolve......I feel there was a real loss of guitar influence with both him and SRV's untimely deaths.....

Not recalling the anniversary, I listened to the entirety of Diary of a Madman coming into work today... loved Randy's playing and his tone was outstanding.

Irrelevant extra info: My drive is a bit longer than the CD (Spotify), so I followed it up with Zebra - No Telling Lies. We wuz jammin!!!

Too bad he didn’t know the importance of avoiding flying with a stupid pilot.

VH1 had a series called behind the music. Ozzies wife Sharon told a great story about Randy. His mother enrollred him in
the most prestigious school in L.A. due his guitar love. The Instructor called Randy's mom 6 weeks after he joined. He told her I Can't teach him anymore.

Haha, I remember that story.....I also have read where he was really into classical/baroque and may have eventually drifted into different genres had he lived....the greatest players IMO tend to do this.....
