I’m so pissed, went to Pandora to set up a Steve Gaines station and they have no record of him. Might just cancel my sub.

Sad, but that's the world we live in. Fortunately, you got there in time and, with any luck, their ignorance can be cured!

One Saturday night not long ago I was looking for guitar "how to play" videos and I Know a Little and You Got That Right are always top of my list.

I found what I was looking for and kinda got lost in Steve Gaines' life and work for a while. Lots of stuff I'd never heard or knew about. He was the real deal. A hard working musician coming up in an amazing time for music who added good stuff to the mix.

I still can't play either song all that well, but I sure like listening to him play them, from that first time on Zeta-4 in 1977 to now.

He left way too soon, but he left us with some great stuff to remember him by.

Bittersweet as it is, at least he went out while at the top of his game, with his highest note still ringing on with a Les Paul's sustain.

With my pick in my right hand, I raise my BIC with my left hand in salute.
