Here's a very cool video of Jose Feliciano playing Flight of the Bumble Bee, He's an amazing guitar player and he's blind. In case your not sure who this guy is, he's the dude whose famous for that tune "Feliz Navidad". Check out the dog chillin' beside him

Didn't he do the theme song to "Chico and the Man"?
Not that he should be judged by that song and Feliz Navaidad

true story.........the first time our local radio station played joses' version of 'light my fire' the DJ stopped it in the middle of the song and all you could hear was him breaking it into little pieces.

My dad and grandpa moved a grand Piano into a house on Balboa island in Newport beach for him in the early 70's.
said he was a really nice guy.

wow really, what a dick I guess he really hated his version of "Light My Fire" I really like it though. Ralph "Feliz Navidad" is a great song, puts me in the holiday spirit :D. Don that version of Malaguena is great, but I always wonder why the hell surf bands don't play it completely like the original, It's confusing

did you notice him drop his pick at about 1:06? he carries on without it quite well...
Jose Feliciano is cool...I dig his version of "Light My Fire, LIght MY Fire, Light MY Fire!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcqCOlJkN8Q
check out his version of Maleguena: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFvqmIi9Ymc&feature=related he even gets into a little golpe action at the end...

jose released his version of 'light my fire' when the doors version was still going strong and gettin a lot of airplay. the first time i heard it i was ...whoa, that's weird .... but the more i heard it the more i liked it.

Yeah I pretty much dig his version more than the Doors version. I still really like that band, but I just really like his version. My lil'bro came across these videos. And I decided to post it here because I thought some of you would enjoy them. He really likes his guitar playing. DP, that is pretty impressive how he still keeps going after he loses the pick

Oh, I'm not knocking "Feliz Navidad", but I don't think you could call it typical of his work.
