Although I have heard this story a thousand times, as my father had to recount it continuously for all the Gallagher fans coming into Crowley's Music Centre I really enjoyed your clip.! My father, Michael Crowley sold Rory that strat! They became good friends and Rory always visited the shop, after hours whenever he was in Cork.

Rory never gets the recognition he deserves.
That '61 Strat, an AC30, and a Rangemaster treble booster were a lethal combo.

Saw Rory several times at the height of his powers from the early 70s to the late 70s. After a show in Dundee I got on stage after the show and Rory's strat was leaning against his AC30, I went over to it and was amazed at the wear, considering by then it was only 10 years old. I later met him in Edinburgh at a show and a nicer fella you could not meet, he was a real gent and very humble. I would later grace some of the stages he performed on, including the Montreux Jazz Fest (in 1978)and while their I thought of him, wishing he was there to thank him for what he did for me as a blossoming young guitarist. When I learned of his death it broke my heart as he was such an influence on me. . I've never forgotten him and still play all his recordings often, it reminds me of the glory I felt the first time I ever saw him perform. RIP Rory, you are truly missed.

I saw him in 73 in Waterloo Canada. Seemed down to Earth, didn't want to leave the stage, his band took a break, he switched to acoustic and kept playing.

Irish tour 74 is a FANTASTIC EXAMPLE of how Rory expresses himself musically

I was once a sales rep for Fender. I got shipped one of these guitars, opened it up, sat on the couch and played it unplugged for hours. I'd never heard anything like it. When I finally plugged it into an amp (which I wasn't in a hurry to do as it sounded amazing acoustically) it only got better. Best Strat I'd every heard. I thought perhaps it was a fluke, or my ears, or... something. Mary's description is spot on to my experience. I've played a LOT of Strats. This is THE Strat to have, IMHO.

I've found myself crying every time I hear Gallagher. Not only because he literally put his blood, sweat, and tears into his music, but also because he's passed. Knowing this, it makes his music that much more emotional. I'll always love Rory.

He is and was a legend i had the pleasure to meet Rory in the green room at olympic studios years ago and l thanked him for being one of the main inspirations for starting my journey as a guitarist
He was so humble and friendly
A genuine amazing and beautiful soul
I was so glad to meet him and thank him for his music and inspiration ❤️

I had some drinks with a (fine) nice :) , but a bit drunk funny irishman in Ghent. Two weeks later a friend took me to a gig from a big bluesman he said. It was that funny Irishman on stage, Rory . With the great Belgian bluesman Roland . BTW he was a wonderful lovely man .

Rory was a true force of nature on stage. I saw him at the Texas Opry house in 78 or 77, and it blew my young mind.

I bought my first guitar in Crowleys and I visited there 1000 times before it sadly closed. Rory was a gentleman and a legend.
18 |
One of the first gigs that I saw was Rory tearing up the Rainbow in '73
Watched him on every tour thereafter and also met the Great man ..a very humble, gentle soul who could play guitar like fire !! RIP Rory 🎸

Rory Gallagher is the guitarist's guitarist. He may not be as well known as some, but his legend will persist.

I saw Rory several times, both in Taste and with his own band. Phenomenal performer. Just one detail: Ballyshannon is not in Northern Ireland. It's in Donegal, which is in the Republic of Ireland, though close to the border.

I played Fenders Custom Shop Rory Strat in Guitar center Times Square NYC in 2018...regardless of how many guitars ive played and owned, that guitar has stayed in my thoughts and dreams since that night. The best feeling, sounding and playing guitar I've ever had in my hands, indescribable

Hi Mary, I really enjoyed this feature you created on Rory and his tribute guitar. One of The people instrumental in expanding the production of that model was my late friend Patrick Kennedy. He grew up in Ireland and knew the family, was also a huge Rory fan (he is referenced on the official Rory site). He later moved to Georgia, where he became a neighbor and good friend of mine. With Patrick's immense energy and persistence, he played a significant role in Fender's production of that model. For his efforts, he was given one of Rory's spare Strat necks by Donal. Patrick mated it to a custom made relic'd body. It's a superb instrument. Sadly, Patrick died of covid in 2020 after winning his battle against leukemia with a bone marrow transplant. I miss him greatly, as many others do. He definitely left his mark in this world, and one mark was the guitar you now own. Play it in good health!

Rory is easily my favorite guitarist(along with Jimi, of course). He was just relentless on stage. So talented.
Thanks for this!

Thank you, Mary, for the wonderful video. I‘am wearing plaid shirts since the 1970s. We call it „Gallagherhemd“. Rory is a legend and my favorite guitarplayer. As a teenager in the mid seventies I went to a music store in downtown Frankfurt to buy some picks. And suddenly the door opened and Rory came in and bought some sets of strings. I stood there frozen. He was very kind and humble. The owner of the shop later told me that Rory would drop in on him every time he was performing in Frankfurt. Best Greetings from Germany

thank you Mary, for bringing Rory's story to a new generation of enthusiasts.
He was truly the idol of true guitarists.
I'm a 61 year old lefty "basement" blues guitarist,
that only learned of Rory, after hearing the Jimi story a couple of years back.
love your content.
