It's difficult think of a more influential guitarist that the iconic Allan Holdsworth. He was the ultimate guitarist's guitarist, despite never being the household name that Eddie Van Halen or Hendrix were. Remembering him today on what would have been his 79th birthday. RIP Allan.

It's a very special day in a couple ways.
First, it is the 72nd birthday of the iconic Geddy Lee! Happy Birthday to Geddy!
Second, on this date in 1974, probably his most impactful birthday present was the addition of Neil Peart to Rush!
This is truly a good day!
