	Just wanted to add Duane Allman to this ever-growing list of names.
    I may have missed it, but I have not seen his name yet, to my surprise.
    Eric Clapton once said he was the greatest guitarist he had ever seen.
    Guess he really though enough of him to invite him to help with the
    "Layla" effort.  So, here's to the memory of Duane!


    I too feel Eddie Van Halen deserves a good deal of credit.  He has
    popularized some old styles of pick-hand hammerons and really is
    a master of his instrument.

    In addition, I give credit to the following:


     Jerry Garcia
     Bob Weir (most creative rhythm guitarist I know of)
     Doc Watson
     Merle Watson
     Chet Atkins
     Larry Carlton
     Pat Metheny
     Robben Ford
     David Lindley

   I could probably go on for quite a while.

John Gilbert
