Derek Bailey: RIP

January 3, 2006

This is an entry about Change, Music with no comments

I heard that Derek Bailey passed on a few days ago.

I really wanted to play like him when I was getting into the guitar. You really knew when you were listening to his guitar: it wheezed, plinked & plonked, skronked, wavered, scraped and often let out a little mew. It reminded me more of Don Martin cartoons than music.

Then I came across this David Reese piece on D. Boon and it made me feel happy inside.
