Peter Green's Story...



"he was the only one who sent a shiver down my spine." B.B King

To have that accolade from Old B.B. King is really something but Peter Green was really something, really...He was the one with a conscience about the starving world when he came into money and he made his gifts of 700 and was labelled crazy...But he is not and he is still my guitar god. He bestowed on us his hilariously funny lines thus :

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Oh well

Now, when I talked to God I knew he'd understand
He said, "Stick by my side and I'll be your guiding hand
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to"

Oh well



A playlist of his story in 12 parts and it is good to see
that he has recovered and to put myths to rest
to alot of stories about him that was circulating.
Good that he is still making music...

Oh well... He replaced Eric Clapton,
He was the Man Of The World,
He gave us that Black Magic Woman...
And he made Carlos Santana too...
