Just As Long As Richie Blackmore Wasn't One Of Them
"June 04 2007 - Kansas City - More than 1680 guitar players turned out, tuned up and took part in what organisers say was a world record rendition of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" - a song that was the first many of them ever learned.
Some came from as far away as California and Germany on Sunday to take part in a Kansas City radio station's effort to break a Guinness world record for the most people playing the same song simultaneously.

that brought back a really nice memory. late 1970's. early summer evening. i'm a young girl, pre-teen, giddy and giggly. innocent... playing in the street while listening to the neighbor boy playing that song on his electric guitar inside his parents house. the music, those simple notes, soaring throughout the warm evening air, making me feel alive. very alive. it was one of the first songs i taught myself on my guitar. :)
I wish we could make more of those pleasant memories for ourselves...
