longboard Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) I missed this in December for some reason. Arty McGlynn, guitarist who had a big influence on how the guitar was used in Irish traditional music. He had a dry Ulster wit.

Futtocks Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Marty Grebb - not a big name, but someone who worked with big names. Leon Russell, Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Eric Clapton, JJ Cale, Elton John, Muddy Waters, The Band, to name a few. 1 Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.
