Rumble in heaven

R.I.P. Link Wray.

I'll play an extra three rounds of "Rumble" tonight when I get home -- even turn the amp up loud and make the cat hide...

The man was one of my favorite guitar players and was influencial despite his simplicity -- for me, the simplicity was breathtaking. Why he's not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I don't know...
