Walk On Hot Coals

1. Rory Gallagher, now there’s a hard drinking Irish guitar player. He was great in concert. He’d come out wearing what looked like freshly washed and ironed blue jeans, flannel shirt and a blue jean jacket. By the time he was done he looked like he put in a 14 hour day. He was never the headliner, but he usually owned the stage by the time the night was over.

3. Watched before I came in today and noted it was from 73′ the same year I retired from the “Gusto Life.”

4. Believe it or not, those WERE freshly laundered and ironed garb. He did his own ironing.

   I watched this the other day, and it gives a pretty good insight into what kind of man Rory was.

   And yeah, the way I heard it, his drinking did him in.
