LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-APRIL 14, 2020…THE GREAT RITCHIE BLACKMORE CELEBRATES HIS 75TH BIRTHDAY TODAY. BLACKMORE OF COURSE IS A FREAKIN’ GOD ON GUITAR FOR HIS WORK WITH DEEP PURPLE, RAINBOW, AND BLACKMORE’S NIGHT. THIS CHEESY PICTURE BTW, IS A PICTURE OF BLACKMORE’S WAX FIGURE AT SHRINE BUILT FOR HIM IN ENGLAND. HERE’S SOME AMAZING VIDEO OF BLACKMORE IN HIS PRIME WITH DEEP PURPLE. IT WAS RELEASE LAST YEAR FROM THE DEEP PURPLE VAULTS. IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE A HOME MOVIE WITH BOARD FED SOUND OF DEEP PURPLE PERFORMING IN JAPAN CIRCA 1972. BLACKMORE’S GUITAR WORK IS FANTASTIC.
RITCHIE BLACKMORE IS WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYERS OF ALL TIME. THIS IS A FANTASTIC DOCUMENTARY TO GIVE YOU INSIGHT ON RITCHIE BLACKMORE
