Hi Wildwoman, as another brit (just joined GT by the way), your article made very interesting reading. There was a prog sometime ago telling the story of Fleetwood Mac, & of course Peter Green.
Followed Deep Purple through the 70's, & now Blackmore's night.
For me it has to be Ritchie Blackmore, David Gilmour, Brian May, Mark Knopfler. Many thanks for a great article.
