Happy Heavenly Birthday!!!
TOMMY BOLIN
August 1, 1951 - December 4, 1976. (25)
American Guitarist/
Deep Purple, James Gang

Today, we remember Tommy Bolin, a gifted American guitarist whose innovative style and musical versatility left an indelible mark on rock music. Born on August 1, 1951, in Sioux City, Iowa, Bolin's career took off in the early 1970s as he joined the rock band “James Gang,”contributing to their renowned album "Bang."

His talent caught the attention of Deep Purple, where he replaced Ritchie Blackmore and recorded the acclaimed album "Come Taste the Band." Bolin also released two solo albums, “Teaser” and “Private Eyes,” showcasing his unique blend of rock, jazz, and blues.

Tragically, Bolin’s life was cut short when he passed away at just 25, but his influence lives on through his groundbreaking work and the countless musicians he inspired. On what would have been his birthday, we celebrate Tommy Bolin's extraordinary legacy—a true guitar hero whose spirit continues to resonate in the world of music.

Happy 79th birthday to the amazing Ritchie Blackmore! He's best known as the founding member and guitarist of both Deep Purple and Rainbow​, and is currently playing with the traditional folk rock band Blackmore's Night, along with his wife Candice Night.

Roy Buchanan: “Probably the reason I never made it big is because I never cared whether I made it big or not. All I wanted to do was learn to play the guitar for myself. You set your own goals for success. And when you succeed, it don’t necessarily mean that you will be a big star, make a lot of money, or anything. You’ll feel it in your heart, whether you’ve succeeded or not.”

Often referred to as “The World’s Greatest Unknown Guitarist,” Roy Buchanan was a visionary Telecaster player whose influence far surpassed his commercial success. He was not only a master of expressive bends but also excelled in advanced techniques such as muting, pinch harmonics, and tone swells.
