We've been enjoying some lovely guitar solos, so now is a good time to introduce a very lovely tune from a very lovely guy and a fabulous player, too: Peter Frampton.
Peter came to my attention as the very young and very good jazzy soloist in Humble Pie, who were one of the heaviest rock bands of their time. But he also has an ear for delicate, beautiful music. And he has the technique to make it happen, too!

Several years later, he played at a very fun concert, the recording of which became the multi-zillion selling "Frampton Comes Alive!

We'll hear Humble Pie soon, too. But let's savor this one first.
