Just wanted to wish Ritchie a Happy Birthday! He never has receved the recognition as one of the "Founding Fathers" of Rock guitar.

Is guitar rock dying?

Was there just a limited amount of good riffs, and they all got used up in the 60s and 70s?

(always liked Street of Dreams, btw)

He is 66 today! And I’ve been an avid-over avid, some say- since I first heard him in 1969.

Absolutely! He has never gotten the recognition his peers received due to his-shall we say-attitude. But as far as talent, innovation, and showmanship he is one of the best ever.

Happy birthday, Richie. Now put away the acoustic, and plug that Strat back in!
