All the others i know of are on your list....

I'm trying to recall the name of the lead guitarist in "rush" and
whether he's in your list. Geddy lee?

Rossington Collins

Also some killer acoustic guitarists who's names elude me totally
from the windham hill label... ones that use cross tuning.. magnificent.

He's amazing... can't wait to see him again. If you go, please let me know the setlist & your thoughts... I love Jimi and Jimmy and Chet and Django, but Mark is by far my favorite. :)
