It's a good list though, but some I have still to acquaint myself with. I think SRV has a place in a top tennish list across the board but you know everyone will have their own list and so it should be. | |

I was keeping it to guys I've worked with... coulda thrown in Keef or Joe Perry [and a bunch of others you're probably heard of] but I thought that might be a bit pretentious. We all know who the rest of them are. |

Of course he's been on millions of records like say Bryan Ferry's 'The bride stripped bare' which is a recent discovery for me. I'm also not surprised that Keith Richards chose Waddy for his solo stuff because his rhythm playing is fantastic. I wonder how many songs that guy knows because he's been around forever and pretty much played with everybody.
