Lord Sitar was the alias for renowned session musician and guitar virtuoso Big Jim Sullivan who, in 1966/67, found himself in the enviable position of being the only established session guitarist in England to own a sitar. By 1967, that attribute had turned him into a valuable commodity, mostly because of the instrument's being popularized by George Harrison of The Beatles and Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones on various of their respective groups' recordings.
