I read a comment from a different performance by Paul and Ford:
"Man, this guy's good! They should name a guitar after him!"

which is how everybody knows his name now. I heard this from a colleague who was a guitar player and she knew him pretty well in his later years.
And of course, he invented multitrack recording.

Sunrises are ACTION PHOTOGRAPHY!!
Here's some music from Ferde Grofé.
My Dad must have had this suite on an LP because I remember every note.
Grand Canyon Suite: Sunrise.
Bernstein version, because he was "The Maestro"
I chose the one without fancy pictures.
Why compete with the great George McGovern?
I won't!
That's pretty stirring.
Now, if you want virtuosity AND
"kick start your day",
Boots Randolph, followed by dueling saxophones.
Boots Randolph, a great performance.
And have a kick-ass day!
