Rory Gallagher--Bad Penny (Rockpalast 1982)
Earlier this month Mrs. Marathon Pundit and I visited Ireland. We went, not everywhere--I wish--but we did see many places.
One stop was Ballyshannon, in County Donegal, where Mrs. MP purchased a bouquet from a floral shop.
Ballyshannon was the birthplace of blues-rock guitar great Rory Gallagher. If you love Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Page, then you'll also enjoy Gallagher's work.
Rory several years younger than those guitarists, and styles had changed by the time Gallagher reached adulthood. And the stage was crowded. He didn't achieve the level of success he deserved.
Still, he was fairly popular in the British Isles and Europe, but less so in America. However, and I'm sure this pleased Gallagher, he enjoyed a solid following in Chicago--the home of the blues. WXRT and WLUP had Gallagher on their playlists in the 1970s and 1980s.
Sadly, the thirtieth anniversary of Rory's passing will be on June 14.
Before Thin Lizzy and U2, there was Gallagher.
To celebrate his legacy, here is Rory pounding out "Bad Penny" in 1982.

Anthony Bernal’s role in Biden White House raises eyebrows
Until Richard Nixon's Watergate scandal broke wide open in 1973, few Americans had heard of Charles Colson, H.R Halderman, or John Ehrlichman.
Right now, few Americans know about Anthony Bernal. But the chief of staff for Jill Biden was one of Senile Joe's puppet masters.
As for Bidengate, it is the biggest presidential scandal in American history.
Yes, it's bigger than Watergate.
