This week’s #FridayFeeling #guitar post goes out to British rock band Cream and their iconic hit, “Sunshine of Your Love”. Written by Jack Bruce, Pete Brown & Eric Clapton, it was originally released on the album Disraeli Gears in November 1967, and as a single in January 1968.

It was wonderful to reconnect with Canada’s Ambassador to Japan, Ian McKay, and his lovely wife Miyuki in Tokyo last week. Ambassador McKay hosted the guitar exchange at the Canadian Embassy on Canada Day in 2022, when my stolen Gretsch was discovered here in Japan —

#MusicMonday Did you know The Guess Who once wrote jingles for Coca-Cola? In 1968, Toronto-based musician and jingle-writer Jack Richardson got involved with The Guess Who while he was with McCann-Erickson, the advertising agency for Coca-Cola. He said:

Continuing our gear chat, here I am with a Herzog unit. This was a two 12AX7 tube preamp invented by myself and Gar Gillies who built Garnet Amps in Winnipeg. This preamp with my ‘59 Les Paul into a Garnet Amp was the sound of American Woman. The result was called the “woman tone”.

#AskRandy You asked, we answered! The Garnet Herzog amp, how it created the legendary sound of The Guess Who songs "No Time" & "American Woman". My daughter Lorelei & son Briggs are on board for this post. Cheers! #roocknroll #gear amps guitarist @theguesswho

#RIP to Bob Weir of The Grateful Dead, who has left us for music heaven today.⚡️ In the mid-late 60's, I was in New York and went to a club in Greenwich village and saw The Dead play. They were new-ish and they were a jam band. When they'd go into a song, it wasn't the standard 3.5 minute radio tune

RIP Chris Rea who left us today. I’ve been a fan for decades. “Fool” is one of my favorite songs. I’ve seen him in concert many times. His voice is what l copied when I started my solo recordings. I bought his boxed set of vinyl celebrating and exploring the different blues genres.

#AskRandy One of the most common questions I get asked as a #guitarist is "What should be my first #guitar?" The answer is what feels right. Go into a music store and try as many as you can. It's not 'one size fits all'.

Please take a moment to remember those who have fought to keep us free. Too often in travel, I see vets who are struggling for the things they need after defending their country. Without them, our lives would be very different.

#AskRandy I've been asked about the glove I sometimes wear; is it for style or a hand issue? The glove is a Tommie Copper compression which eases pain and helps mobility. I've noticed a big difference in the cold when I'm playing outdoor shows. I have a bit of an issue with my thumb -

Remembering B.B. King, who was born 100 yrs ago today. It's been 10 years since he passed but I'm grateful to have spent time with him and played his club years ago. He made the blues accessible to the whole world, touring for nearly 70 years. I first did a show with B.B. in the mid-60s.
