John Williams (b. 24 April 1941) is a great Australian classical guitarist
Naming Rights; or, Star Wars
Guitar historian Graham Wade has said that "John is perhaps the most technically accomplished guitarist the world has seen." -- Wikipedia
How sad it is to see your name
Usurped by someone else’s fame.
A case like this, at its bizarrest,
Affects John Williams, the guitarist.
For though it seems a little weird,
A second Williams (John) appeared,
Who soon was feted and revered, –
And Williams (John) and his guitar
Played second fiddle to the star.
