Kevin Brown mentioned Robert Fripp, and I do not know how I managed to leave him off my list - the man is very strange, but very amazing; a technician, but with a deep soul. Another I neglected who had a huge influence on me was Gary Green of Gentle Giant, who is a tremendous melodic player. They were a superb and "accessible" (to the listener) British progressive-rock band that injected a lot of humor in their playing, unlike most prog-rock bands, who took themselves far too seriously; I think Gary lives in Chicago now. Also a nod to every single guitarist (including the already mentioned Paul "Mr. Moto" Johnson, who I've played with) on the "Cowabunga" Surf Music box set - those guys *were* my elementary school and Jr. High musical life and the guys who got me switched from sax to guitar. |

Speaking of guitarists influenced by non=guitarists, Jim Hall said he listened mostly to pianists. And on another weird note, he put Guild buckers in his Gibsons. ------------------ |

Thanks to all who mentioned Don Rich. At the always amazin' Amazon.com, I got a copy of Don Rich and the Buckaroos: Country Pickin', the Don Rich anthology. I had no idea that Don was such a good fiddler and singer. ------------------ |
