Peter Green Man of the World & Albatross

Music to end the weekend with ...........

Peter Green replaced  Eric Clapton in The John Mayall Bluesbreakers and went on to become one of the founder members of fleetwood Mac.  He was recognised as one of the worlds greatest guitarists before suffering severe mental health problems and disappearing from the music scene. He sold his famous 1959 Gibson Les Paul Sunburst guitar during a difficult period when he was struggling to survive on a variety of short lived, low paid, low skilled work.

Oddly enough ...............it was bought by Gary Moore
