This might belong in the "You know you're old when..." thread.

I read that Duane Eddy died yesterday and just finished listening to a few pieces of his. I hadn't heard him in so long that I'd forgotten all about how distinctive his style of guitar playing was.

This one is a nearly 30-years later take on the music he wrote for the intro to the late-50s Peter Gunn tv series. It's an excellent example of his sound. The sax is more prominent than it was when he came on the scene, but I think that instrument's more forward sound here is the perfect complement to Eddy's guitar.

FWIW, Eddy was self-taught and could not read nor score music.

Good one there Dradernh, I like a bit of saxophone from time to time.

I got to know Duane Eddy in the 80s from his collaboration with The Art Of Noise.

That man could bring it. Saw him and Janis Joplin at different times up close in small venues. She brought it, too, bigly. Both checked-out less than a month from one another. At the time, it was stunning – like, what is going on?!

Lucky you to see such great artists before they passed.

Here's a favorite Janis tune of mine:
