More than just the Mickey in Mickey and Sylvia (though that was­n’t noth­ing); simply one of the great elec­tric gui­tar styl­ists. A favor­ite of anoth­er depar­ted favor­ite, Mr. Robert Quine. His gui­tar course books are insane. Listen to him tear it up on the theme from one of my, and I hope your, favor­ite pic­tures. Here is his New York Times obit.

    I’d nev­er heard that before. Tough to replace the zith­er, but he just about pulls it off. Would have been a great track to use for a Monty Python homage to the film.
