Well, I've got to run to keep from hiding,
And I'm bound to keep on riding.
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no,
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.

Gregg Allman and K. Payne

Murf - You were listed as the #6 top guitar player in the UK.

[Walter]Trout - Top greatest guitar players of all time....twenty greatest guitar players of all time.

Murf - You were listed higher than Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeff Healey, Peter Green, Rory Gallager, Joe Satriani and even B.B. King.

Trout - Yeah...out of 100,000 votes cast I was only two votes shy of Jimmy Page who was number 5...which if I had known that I would have sent in three votes for myself (laughing)..... you know I thought what the heck ..when they announced it and they said between six and five there's only two votes....I thought man if I had known that I would've voted you know, but I didn't. But it's sort of a long story but that's really what happened....this was thrown in my lap...the night Mayall got sick. You wanna make your own record and that had always been my dream. I did the sideman thing for 20 years. I played with John Lee Hooker, Big Mama Thornton, Loel Colesen, Percy Mayfield.....Canned Heat, Bobby Hatfield and the Righteous Brothers, John Mayall, Peter Crayton....20 years of that and the whole time it was my dream to have my own career.

live trout--- good stuff.

Did you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see bird
that had the blues? One reason why birds and horses are not
unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other
birds and horses.
