Dan Patlansky

Dan makes us Durbanites proud. Its a privilege to see him live at local gigs. The drummer is Andy Turrell, one of the best all-round musicians around. Excellent bassist and lead guitarist, I'll have him in my band anytime! Eat your hearts out - we have some of the best right here in Surf City!

Gary Moore recorded this album "Blues for Greeny" as a tribute to Peter Green (one of the founder members of Fleetwood Mac)

The clean guitar chords and haunting rhythm makes this one of my favourites.

Orianthi - Heaven In This Hell (Full Album) 2013 [HD]

I fondly remember my youth when music was still real. Bands could actually perform on stage what they recorded in the studio.

This recording is one of those and was made by real musicians playing real instruments. Lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass and drums. No voice enhancers, no synthesizers, no bullshit.
A real artist doesn't need those or all the side shows and light effects etc etc. Just plain honest music.

My favourite is How do you sleep? Google it on YouTube and see how this girl masters a guitar. Enjoy!

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble now have a permanent spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Texas guitar hero was inducted into the historic museum on April 18 in Cleveland, Ohio. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony airs on HBO on May 30.

John Mayer took the stage to speak about the man who he's said is his biggest influence, Stevie Ray Vaughan. "I figured out there was two ways to play guitar. There was playing chords, and doing that other thing, [which] was elemental. Stevie Ray was doing the other thing. Stevie Ray Vaughan is the ultimate guitar hero."

"I know he would want to thank the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but most of all he would want to thank his fans," Jimmie Vaughan told the crowd. SRV and Double Trouble received 18 million votes to be inducted into the Rock Hall.

It was a moment fitting of the magic and emotion that filled Stevie Ray Vaughan's music. Jimmie Vaughan gathered the members of Double Trouble and their guest performers including John Mayer and Gary Clark Jr. for the finale of their three-song set.

Ben E King: Stand by me: 1961:Lyrics and video

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me
Stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
All the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me
Stand by me

So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh stand by me, oh won't you stand now, stand
Stand by me

The Commodores: Sail on:1979:Album-Midnight magic:Lyrics and Video

“Ain’t it funny how the time can go?”

"Sail on, down the line
About half a mile or so
And I don't really wanna know ah
Where you're going
Maybe once or twice you see
Time after time I tried
Hold on to what we got
But now you're going
And I don't mind
About the things you're gonna say
Lord, I gave all my money and my time
I know it's a shame
But I'm giving you back your name
Guess I'll be on my way
I won't be back to stay
I guess I'll move along
I'm looking for a good time
Sail on down the line
Ain't it funny how the time can go
All my friends say they told me so
But it doesn't matter
It was plain to see
That a small town boy like me
Just I wasn't your cup of tea
It was wishful thinking
I gave you my heart
And I tried ot make you happy
And you gave me nothing in return
You know it ain't so hard to say
Would you please just go away

I've thrown away the blues
I'm tired of being used
I want everyone to know
I'm looking for a good time
Good time
Sail on honey
Good times never felt so good
Sail on honey
Good times never felt so good
Sail on sugar
Good times never felt so good
Sail on."
