Way back in 1996, I was a guitarist in a band, and we had the chance to open for a 16- or 17-year old Derek Trucks (with his band) at some tiny coffee shop in New Cumberland, PA. And let me put it this way: my band was not going to be lighting the world on fire. And that’s being kind. And of course even back then, Derek was a phenomenal talent. Clearly in another league. But this dude made a point to sit down and listen to us play and clap for our songs. At such a young age, he had already played with some of the best musicians on the planet (and now he is one). But he still took the time to listen to us and support us. That’s a kind soul right there. I’ve seen him play a dozen times since then throughout the years and am always swept away by how he makes his guitar sing. But that coffee shop in 1996 is my strongest memory of him. A class act.

Can't count how many times I've chastised some talking head saying "so and so is the goat, or he's the best ever" But the guy may just be the best on the planet. He can sit in with anyone and just not miss. Many of our favorites can't. Just steals every show anywhere he sits in. Inadvertently outplays anyone he plays with. And just gets better and better and better and better. Nuts man
