John's video about the ice motorcyle had a song by Gary Moore, used to
have that CD.

If a guitar could cry and be sad I think it would sound alot like
this:

Cool stuff. I was unfamiliar with Gary, so I looked him up on AMG. Long
career, bouncing around quite a bit between different players and different
styles it seems. A relative unknown in the US, but quite well known across
the pond. The guitar he uses in your first two links is a maple 1959 Les
Paul Standard, sold to him by Peter Green (early Fleetwood Mac).

I'd be interested in picking up a couple of his albums to try on for size,
but his discography is quite prolific, so I'm not sure where to start. Some
albums are apparently more metal-based, others more blues-based. Even the
number of compilation albums is enormous. Got any recommends?
