I love John

[ButterCookie]

I think a good 'ole John appreciation thread is in order. My copy of The Authorized History by Samuel Graham arrived today and I scanned the photos that I hadn't seen. Most of them were of John and it (among other events today) reminded me just how much I love him and the way he plays.

I had John Mayall's Bluesbreakers Crusade album on (by accident, I was supposed to have their album with Clapton on) and just fell in love with his playing all over again. It's so distinguishable and warm, particularly on Driving Sideways. I thouroughly enjoy playing John's bassline's and could play Say You Love Me for hours on end without a jot of boredom.

His sense of humour is wonderful, too.
