Eric Gales: Make It There

I just discovered this guy (yeah, sort of late). Love his playing and singing. Also he throws some wah-wah in there which is a WIN in my book. He plays a right-handed guitar upside-down and backwards, but hey—works for him.

This came to mind, for obvious reasons:

Thus you shall have the glory of the illumination of all the world, and all obscurity will fly far from you.

This is the power of all strength--it overcomes every subtle thing and penetrates every solid substance.

This was the means of the creation of the world.

In the future wonderful adaptations will be achieved, and this is the way.

I am Hermes the Threefold Sage, so named because I hold the three elements of all wisdom. And thus ends the revelation of the work of the Sun.
