The Man In Black is 80
Need I say more? The dude's been around, to put it mildly. I'll go out on a limb here & say he's a good part of why we're all here, more or less...... no he's not the inventor, be-all-end-all of rock guitar playing but he's certainly provided some key moments. The Wizard of the Stratocaster.
Cheers Ritchie & love & health to you!!

Hope he's OK. Doesn't sound like he's be doing great.

Re: The Man In Black is 80
Blackmore is THE man. Period. He is always on my top list, along with the usual suspects on this site. He was doing stuff I can only dream of doing back in 1970, for God's sake!!
Happy B-day to the Man in Black indeed. Hope he is doing great and his health issues were only a minor setback.

I have loved his playing and songs for 50 years. I think he's one of the most uniquely extraordinary rock guitarists ever, up there with Clapton and Page for sure.
Happy birthday!
