Finally Richard Thompson has made the cover of Guitar Player Magazine, 50 years into his career. ------------- "Into every rain, a little life must fall." ~Tom Rapp |

If he had gone by the moniker Dastardly Dick Thompson he may have made it on the cover sooner. Richard Thompson is not the greatest of names for worshiping as a guitar hero! Even though he is (to me anyway)...a guitar hero that is.

| Surprising, I would have thought the majority of serious guitar players would recognise him as a major talent. |

| I only know him from the French, Frith, Kaiser, Thompson record I own, and his songs are the ones I like most. I guess that’s worth something....?? |

I'm sure most serious guitarists of at least a certain age do know of and appreciate him, the cover of a magazine is a different animal. Just good to see him recognized in this way in a place that, surprisingly, hadn't done so before. Late husband used to say,"How many times can they put Joe Bonamassa on the cover?" ------------- "Into every rain, a little life must fall." ~Tom Rapp |

The two FFKT albums are delightful, but if you want an example of RT in guitar hero mood this is a great example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCGvCnMZ8gs |

I love all of this record, actually, but this is one of my favourites for the solo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Sap3JK8CxE&start_radio=1&list=RD_Sap3JK8CxE ------------- "Into every rain, a little life must fall." ~Tom Rapp |
