Big Jim Sullivan a.k.a. Lord Sitar a.k.a. James George Thompkins was a British Pop Musician and U.K. Session Guitarist and eventually would be regarded as a Guitar Hero. He was friends with Elvis. He toured with Tom Jones. And he put out a sitar album or two. Last I heard he was touring with the Big Jim Sullivan Band. Seems appropriate. Anyway, when he was doing the sitar thing, he learned from one of the greats - Vilayat Khan. In the fashion of the times, the Lord Sitar album (1968) is a compilation of popular songs of that era done with a sitar. Not terribly original, but fun nonetheless.
