Folks, the GRERAT take-away from all this is an impressive collective demonstration of in depth knowledge of the history and accomplishments of major players across the music spectrum and over time.

Toots Thielmans, Ray Brown, Herb Ellis, Victor Wooten, Cole Porter, Cannonball, Jimmy Page, David Gilmore, Steely Dan, Yes, Django, Charlie Christian, Art Tatum,Stevie Wonder, Getz, Parker, Pat Metheny, Jimmy Smith and others mentioned here...the best ever in the field of music. An impressive demonstration of knowledge and appreciation of the business we're all devoted to and the major creators/innovators.

To Chas, Mo, AJ, Nigel, Diki, Zuki and others, YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF!

That common bond, to me, far superceeds the petty "games" that sometimes surfaces, due to bordom, ego...whatever.

Thanks for your comtributions.
