1970 Isle of Wight
Before there was SRV & Double Trouble.....there was Rory Gallagher.
Legend has that when a fan asked Jimi Hendrix, "How does it feel to be the greatest guitar player in the world?"
Jimi replied, "I don't know man, go ask Rory Gallagher".

March 2017: Moscow on the Beach....Russian elite invested nearly $100 million in Trump buildings
MIAMI/MOSCOW During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald J. Trump downplayed his business ties with Russia. And since taking office as president, he has been even more emphatic.
I can tell you, speaking for myself, I own nothing in Russia, President Trump said at a news conference last month. I have no loans in Russia. I dont have any deals in Russia.
But in the United States, members of the Russian elite have invested in Trump buildings. A Reuters review has found that at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida, according to public documents, interviews and corporate records.
The buyers include politically connected businessmen, such as a former executive in a Moscow-based state-run construction firm that works on military and intelligence facilities, the founder of a St. Petersburg investment bank and the co-founder of a conglomerate with interests in banking, property and electronics.
