Must mean I need to get acquainted with Graham Coxon and Bob Mould. Yes, Philly does have some pretty unattractive areas, which is why the first time I ever visited it, I thought it was the most Godawful city I'd ever seen. But then, most cities have areas like that, and I've come to really like Philly.<BR/><BR/>Linser, fingers crossed.<BR/><BR/>Stef, or maybe 20!<BR/><BR/>Pete, oh yes, the Edge is another to add to the list, and now you've given me some more to check out.Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-65546679850896458752008-06-21T13:21:00.000-04:002008-06-21T13:21:00.000-04:00Ok so he's probably not quite as good but I like T...Ok so he's probably not quite as good but I like The Edge.

And, as I sit here while Bob blasts Santana downstairs, I'm beginning to realize Carlos Santana is pretty distinctive as well.<BR/><BR/>Dorr, and we'll hate, hate, hate not having you (and Hobs) here. <BR/><BR/>MFS, yes, Jimmy Page is another great, and of course, you may come on Friday. I'm already busy putting together a book stack in my mind for you!<BR/><BR/>Court, $#@! your sister-in-law (just kidding). We'll miss you. And I'll check out Landreth. You're right: John Hiatt is another one. Just so many good ones, no?<BR/><BR/>All right, I guess I just need to admit it's pretty stupid to name the four best guitarists (and even to admit that my thoughts may have been based on what I had chosen to listen to the evening this post began composing itself in my head).
