My two criteria are: 1) who would I give strong consideration to buying if I became aware of a new release; or 2) who compels me to listen when they play?

1. Carlos Santana
2. Terry Kath
3. SRV
4. Sharon Isbin
5. Andres Segovia/Wes Montgomery (a tie)

This list is subject to change.

My wife and I and 2 friends of ours are going to see Eric Clapton here in Atlanta on Thursday....it'll be interesting to see what he plays....hopefully a mix of old and new. Can't wait to see how he sounds after all these years!

Is this part of a farewell tour? I thought he was retiring.

Who knows……my wife and a friend of hers got us tix as a Christmas present last year. Be nice to hear a nice large live concert…..it’s been awhile. We also had tickets to Tedeschi Trucks here about 3 weeks ago and for some reason they cancelled the Sunday night show but kept the Saturday. Pretty frustrating.
