I was totally interested after hearing about it. The calculator comes out and 120 guitars at maybe $50,000 on average...6 million tops. $21 million dollars for charity. Several people stepped up big time on this. $175,000 average. WOW!

Not to start an argument, but the terms roots are not exactly clear. Some say it was used by white executives to promote white artists who had a "naturally" soulful sounding voice. It really is a rabbit hole. That's why I'd never use that phrase. Soulful voice is soulful voice.
White people can be racist to white people.
Either way, agree that soulful voice is soulful, regardless.
i don't see it terms of racism, but people trying to stay within their comfort zone. I've had black friends who never accepted Lionel Ritchie as a solo artist. Loved The Commodores, but loved songs like "Hello".
The most expensive guitar went for something like a little under 3 1/2 million if I remember correctly. It was one he used for some of their greatest hits.
I found some articles. The black strat went for 3.95 https://www.rollingstone.com/music/...y-david-gilmour-black-strat-interview-852850/mil. Highest ever. Jim Irsay??? WTH
I wish I could have inherited a billion dollars from my dad. I would have bid as well. Good for him though, Irsay does have great taste in music. If you have the money, you might as well spend it and for a good cause as well.
I saw The Commodores in concert. I thought that Ritchie's music was much better with The Commodores than when he went on his own (I loved "Hello" as well). That occurs with a lot of artists that are in bands and then go solo. They become more poppy than they had been. Peter Cetera and Kenny Loggins are a couple of examples.
I’m hoping like hell he does one more tour before he retires for good—I have not been fortunate enough to see him/Floyd live, so not many places I wouldn’t go to see that brilliant musician on stage once before I die.
Saw the last tour Peter did with Chicago. This guy fronting would of been incredible.
Kath and mates at 23 years of age. Seraphine on drums...perfect energy.
and if you're going to cover a band....make it as good as the original's best performance. Does this make me a Putin lover?

Just great music. Terry Kath was another whose life ended way to early. He was a great and even underrated guitarist. His lead on 25 or 6 to 4 is amazing.
I agree. I haven't seen him live either. I would plan a vacation around seeing him.
Here's an interesting article about the man. I think the Hendrix quote was him being nice. Kath was very fast on the fretboard.
