Whoops. Sorry they are sideways. But I have a bunch of old Down Beats and wanted to post some. I figured I'd start with Roy. The second page continues the article. I'll have to find a better way to post them.
Jim, these articles are enjoyable as well as educational. You certainly have eclectic tastes in guitarists. Maybe you should think about writing a book some day...
Hi Brian - Always great to see your posts here old friend. Glad you enjoy my articles. My guess is your tastes are as eclectic as my own. What have you listened to the last month?
Been listening to a lot of this and that, but most recent score was one you’d appreciate… a long-sought minty copy of Buch & the Snakestretchers on BIOYA in burlap sack! Another check mark on my dwindling wants list.
Years ago I had a room full of magazines. I decided to digitize articles of interest. It took a couple years, I'm sure many of you went through a similar process as space became an issue. Musicians seem to hoard information! This is one of my favorites. It's a cool analysis of Charlie Christian's style. Let me know if it is acceptable, I have tons of similar information.
There was a magazine out years ago called Guitar Extra that was excellent. This article is about Lonnie Johnson and Eddie Lang. Quite informative, talks about their contribution and includes a discography.

what about this guy!
Speaking of Grant, his son (GG Jr) has made this video available for 6 bucks. Totally worth it. http://store.payloadz.com/details/2119321-movies-and-videos-music-video-grant-green-video-download-product.html
