All I had to do was step out of my car in the B&B parking lot, look up, and there it was!

Charming thing about Sedona...there's an ordnance that all non-necessary commercial lights must be turned off by midnight or 1:00 a.m. to avoid light pollution and enable the star-gazers.

When you spend time away from 'civilisation', as I did in my younger days aboard ocean racing yachts many miles from land, the sheer number of stars in the night sky is mind blowing. Unless it's a cloudy night, of course.

"Girls on the Cripple Creek, 'bout half grown,
Jump on a boy like a dog on a bone.
Roll my britches up to my knees;
I'll wade old Cripple Creek whenever I please."

If we are gonna talk guitars, we must talk Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Page's solo during 'Stairway to Heaven.'

Slide over to 6:10 for real magic being worked with a guitar!

JKendallDane said:

I would never say anything bad about Clapton, and I'm not a huge Led Zep fan...I just think Page's StH solo is one of the top three ever done.

And then there is always Deep Purple doing 'Smoke on the Water' to consider too.
