[Slowhand] who's missing

[Mel Boss]

MarkK, BonnieR, JoeS and LindseyB are great player performers whom I love see play at this venue. I've read/heard that there might be some issues between BonnieR and E and, likewise, I don't imagine that E and JimmyP are best of chums. I would add Roy Rogers to that list of great performers!

So they've announced another Crossroads Benefit Guitar Festival and it's the

>usual characters one would expect for one of these events now that we've

>seen two versions (not counting the first benefit Eric did in MSG).

>Not that I don't enjoy seeing and hearing from those usual suspects (always

>cool to see Hubert Sumlin), I'd like to see a few guitarists that aren't

>(yet) on the list of performers.  

>1)Jimmy Page.  Why not?  Plant has made it clear he's not interested

>in reforming LZ and Pagey has announced that he'll tour this year.

>2)Stephen Stills.  'Nuff said.

>3)Mark Knopfler.  He's played with Eric before and it would cool to

>see him up there on that stage.

>4)Joe Satriani.  Not only is he a phenomenal guitar player, he's a

>hell of a nice guy!

>5)Kenny Wayne Shepherd.  Far better than Johnny Lang.

>6)Bonnie Raitt.  Give the girl some love.  Not only does she have one

>of most recognizable voices in the music biz, she can play a mean slide.

>7)Lindsey Buckingham.  Great, unique style.

>8)Mick Taylor.  Not sure if Eric gets along with the guy but he can

>really play some mean blues.

>9)Leslie West.  A Mountain of a man and another iconic axe man.

>10)Joe Perry.  With Steven Tyler not able to decide if he'd rather front

>LZ than Aerosmith, Joe needs something to do.

>It's good to see Eric include Joe Bonamassa.  The guy's got serious chops.

>So what do my fellow digesters think?  Has the festival lost its mojo?  Who

>would you like to see added to the lineup?

>Cheers,

>Jeff
