Rip, Lonnie. Bootsy seems like a really nice fellow.
He always has to me as well! Would love to meet him!
How could anyone not like Bootsy?
Also I practically never comment on people's appearance but that motherfuckin hat, haha. Couldn't stop smiling listening to this bit.
Lonnie Mack influenced a lot of guitar players ,including Stevie Ray Vaughn !
Yeah I know why isn’t he recognized aswell today as srv is or Eric clapton
Boostie Collins was a legend hisself..Lonnie Mackwas a legend and both these musicians were instrumental in there time of work..phenomenal musicians..given to the public..
Bootsy is soooo cool. He loves everyone and loves a lot of different types of music.
Just watchin Bootsy talk makes you like this guy. very cooooooooool
Lonnie Mack inspired me when I was young and learning to play and I learned much from him.
Lonnie Mack had an essence in his playing that couldn't be replicated...I had the good fortune to see him play live. He was as humble as it comes and every bit as good as it seems. I don't know, but I love him like a brother.
Bootsy is such a nice guy.
You met him before?
I met Lonnie in 1988. He was super friendly and cool.
Very very love to hear that!
love this kind of story bootsy you're too cool for this world
I'm a bit surprised to learn Bootsy didn't meet Lonnie Mack until just a few years ago, because they both gigged around Cincinnati as young musicians AND more importantly, they both recorded as session musicians for the famed KING records in Cincinnati. Mack worked more with Cincy label Fraternity, but I think he actually recorded on some James Brown stuff. Maybe that was before Bootsy's time. I believe Bootsy and Catfish Collins actually started playing at KING as a young teenager.
Look up underrated in the dictionary and Lonnie Mack's face should be there.
The other day I was reading an article on "famous guitar players that use Flying V's" and Lonnie Mack wasn't even mentioned. What a shame.
@@bigrigJim His influence far outweighs his fame . That's would be ok with Mack though. He wasn't concerned about fame and fortune at all. He deliberately avoided big record labels and the demands and hassles that came with working for them for most of his career. He was probably better known in Europe and Australia than in the states. He just wanted to play when and where he chose and he did.A lot of well known rock guitarists acknowledged his importance in shaping the way rock guitarists play today. If Jeff Beck is playing a tribute song in your honor at his shows, you know you're a top player and a pioneer. Lonnie was literally the first rocker to play a V. He had one of the very first ever made. No 00007 serial number. 1958
@@abelincoln5698 you know that’s kinda sad if lonnie was know in the states since he’s literally from indiana
RIP Lonnie Mack...
i WANT U!!! Mr. Bootsy Collins! On My DADS tribute album. Contact. Me. Holly Mack...ps We meey at the Cammy Awards
Holly did you get with Bootsy? If not let me know I'll get you his info... he should be on the Lonnie project, Catfish and Lonnie would be smiling from heaven!
Right on Bootsy, right on!
I love Lonnie, saw him with SRV in the 80s in SanDiego, but Roy Buchannon is the king to me.
That’s kool dawg.
Wow! Who would a funk it!🌟★🌟
*I respect his respect...*
🧐
How Lonnie Mack, the guitar heroes' guitar hero, is not on anyone's list of greatest guitarists is beyond me.
Further on down the road!!!
Pretty cool story Boots-
Nobody could do it like Stevie Ray Vaughan did.
As cool as the breeze…
When Bootsy speaks of "Cat" who is he talking about ?
+beachidiot His brother
+Francisco Moro Thanks for the info. Was or is Cat a professional musician ?
+beachidiot Phelps "Catfish" Collins is Bootsy's older brother, who played guitar with him through their life. He and Bootsy were in James Brown's band, and after that, Parliament Funkadelic, and of course Booty's Rubber Band. Catfish passed away not to long ago though... look him up on here.
+Tyler Ray Davidson I will check him out. Thanks for taking the time to enlighten me.
