MOTD
The internet service has been down in the office for the past few hours, and while technicians have been at it for a while now, it seems that the service outage may last for a bit longer. Luckily, there are a few unsecured wi-fi connections in the area who have agreed to let us hop on ... well, if they only knew, that is!
Prior to the internet going down, I was going to keep it rather short, as one of my favorite guitar players passed away yesterday. Gary Moore, also known for having played with
Thin Lizzy, died in his sleep yesterday while on vacation in Estepona, Spain. Influenced by artists such as
Albert King,
Elvis Presley,
The Beatles, as well as
Jimi Hendrix, Moore has been one of my favorite blues/rock guitarist (and he does lead vocals as well) ever since I heard
Victims of the Future in 1984.
