Rory Gallagher, Irish Guitarist, 1948 - 1995.

Comments

You’re back again Michael - as I saw from your comment on mine and this of course. I like the colours here , mainly two, but very effective . The more I look at it the more I like how you’ve painted it - it looks simply done but I bet it wasn’t. But those dates bother me….

A good likeness of a great guitarist. Jimmy Hendrix was once once asked by a reporter what’s it like being the best blues guitarist in the world? I don’t know, ask Rory Gallagher he replied.

Michael, was I having a senior moment or have you edited?

Spencer and Fiona, thank you. Marjorie, I corrected my typo mistake.
