[shamus63]

Derek Trucks, for sure.

This may be blasphemy to some, but I'll give the nod to Derek over Duane any day!

Duane was great (RIP), but Derek is so much more accomplished...and still developing!

I have been saying that for a while too...Derek is the man, but who knows what Duane would sound like had he not died...

That very though was on my mind when I posted that last bit, but I still think that Derek is a special breed of guitar player.

Yeah! I saw Ben back in '94 with Luscious Jackson opening in a small venue in San Diego. A great show by both bands!

Ben definitely had a cool slide thing going on with that dulcimer (I think that's what they call it). Whatever, it grooved big time!

Chris Rea...amazing player.

Also Charlie Burchill.
