Durango, Colorado. Did college radio in the late 70's and found a bunch of Rory's albums in a dusty back room. Spent a couple of hours in Studio B listening and came out with a look on my face. My first words were, "You have got to listen to this!" and made the on-air guy play Moonchild immediately. Sadly, got stuck on the tube in December 1981 and didn't make it out to the west end to see him in a bar there. Saw a blurb that day that said something to the effect of "the best blues guitarist in the world and not an Irish joke to be heard." Finally climbed out of the tube into a sea of folks who had just left a show by The Damned! Fortunately, I did get to see him in Philly on the Jinxed tour. Thanks for keeping this flame lit.

I live in the beautiful Napa Valley, California. I’m so happy to be here. Rory was the most wonderful musician , songwriter and quality person who is still admired all over the world. But then, everyone here knows that.💚☘️🎸 California USA Much the same! I wasn't even born when he passed. I came across his stuff sophomore year of college (A year and a half ago.) He's certainly one of the greats!

I am so glad that quality never fades and that someone your age gets it! My tastes run through EDM, metal, punk, country, jazz, rock and classical (and others, probably). If it's good, enjoy it!
BTW, my grandfather was commodore of the Oxford Yacht Club for many years - know your area well.

I´ve seen Rory several times live from the 70s to the 90s. I had the pleasure to meet him Backstage in January 1980 in Paris (Pavillon Baltard), and in May 1979 in Wiesbaden (Germany). He always gave his best on stage, I will never forget the first Rockpalast Festival in Essen on July 1977 where Rory opened, this was magic. Pforzheim - Germany That's a ******* awesome tattoo! Pforzheim now, but born in Belgium I'm guessing? I had family in Diest.

Live in Kent in south east England. Only relatively recently became a Rory fan. Last 8 years or so. Never saw him live sadly.
