George Benson and John McLaughlin

"Chet Atkins covered it all pretty well, IMHO, and didn't have to show off to put on a great show"

He sure was great. I always kind of figured that he took Merle Travis' style to another level or two. Not that he was a one trick player by any stretch. I just hear that lineage. Is there a younger player that has taken that style anywhere new?

I've always thought that album he did with Mark Knopfler was really fun to listen to. Great playing and humor. They both sound like they're really enjoying themselves.

Sorry to change the subject a little.

edited to add: I've always really loved the baritone solo in Wichita Lineman.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Henry Nagle on 21 April 2006 at 09:45 AM.]</p></FONT>

Campbell was strongly influenced by Tal Farlow.

Also, when he was young he heard Bob and Billy jack Wills, and soon he could play even the most difficult passages. Decades later, he met Tiny Moore and showed Tiny he could play all of Tiny's 5-string mando stuff on guitar note for note.

And let's not forget his 6-string banjo stuff with the Kingstons. Hardly anybody had played that instrument in decades, and Deering started making them after being inspired by Glen
