Re: Wes Montgomery
I got this box set out of the library a few weeks ago...



For anybody interested in jazz guitar, or would like an introduction to jazz guitar, it's pretty good.

But I mention this because there's a 40 page or so booklet that comes with it. All sorts of interesting info on the tracklist, history and other stuff. The last section is from interviews with about 15 of today's top guitarists and they were asked to mention their top 3 influences. Wes Montgomery was noted as a major influence twice as often as anyone else.

That's a real hard one for me. There is to many to think of but to make a long story short, I love good country and the sound of a steel guitar.

The Steel guitar has made it into the rock/pop area. Robert Randolph and the Family Band really rock out with Randoph's playing of the Sacred Steel.

First I've heard of them, thanks. Had to look one up. Not bad, about the 57 second mark I caught myself tapping my toes.
