Albert Collins Thread

[The Polack MSgt]

Starting with this masterpiece

His tone was so high and cold they called him the Ice Man.

He was frosty, and tipped back a few

But he weren't drunk, he was just drinking

1. Have you seen the movie Adventures in Babysitting? There is a segment with Albert Collins

playing in a Chicago club. Elizabeth Shue has to sing a song before leaving the club - Babysitting Blues. Still good after all these years.

2. I've never seen the movie

Looks like it's netflix to the rescue

5. Typical John Hughes 1980s movie but it does have some great moments in it

3. In The 2nd Link...

...the image is flipped. The guitar (Telecaster) he's holding is left handed. The cutaway is to the left.
He's not left handed!
He's another dude that got hooked on the Tele. Barely ever plays anything else.
When I hear Tele, I think Albert Collins, Albert Lee, Roy Buchanan, & Arlen Roth.
Thousands of guitarists use them, (I do for super clean) but, for me, those 4 guys are THE TELE GUYS!

4. I'm not familiar with Arlen Roth, but the rest of the list is right on. Love 'em all

I would nominate Danny Gatton to join this group

Now I am off to google Arlen Roth
