In '63 I sat 10 feet from John Hammond jr. and was completely blown away by his music. I wish I'd heard Dr. Ross first and realized I was hearing a good copy of a great artist. This guy should be famous - like with a US postage stamp or something.
A local musician, very down to earth, international performer. Love this man's catalog! A side note: I worked for the airline in our hometown, Dr. Ross flew in and his guitar didn't arrive (he didn't carry it on), he was really cool about it, I filed a lost baggage report. The next day it came in, a very thin case with cheesy latches, but it was his main baby. I drove it over to his house here in Flint (on Welch Blvd for curious locals), he was again, very nice about it all.
So many people slag things off on here - how refreshing to see that everybody here has thought this was as fantastic as I do. Thank you everybody for restoring my faith - and thank you Doctor Ross
