Many Paths: Galesburg recently lost a musical legend | Opinion
A couple of weeks ago, Galesburg lost a local music legend. Sadly, Sean Kistler left us way too soon. His outright love of what he did was always on display. I never saw a musician that seemed to enjoy his craft as much as him.He taught my son to play guitar over a course of time. He made my son a much better technical guitarist than myself. My son can work the full guitar neck better than I. I am bit of a hack but love to play. Sean on the other hand could master so many songs that I couldn’t even begin to fumble through. His musical performance choices were always top notch in my book as well. If it was a song, Kistler could play it. He had a penchant for rock, and he could bring much of that harder sound to an acoustic guitar. And let’s not forget his classical rendition of “Smelly Cat”.Sean was a huge lover of rock. I gleaned from his discussions and his social media that KISS was a big influence on him. With me, I grew up during a time when singer/songwriters where prevalent. I am talking about these greats: Dylan, Jackson
