imo he was kind of an overrated gimmick player, it's not like the 6th and 7th fingers on his left hand really contributed to his fretwork at all

wasn't he uncredited on some of those denny vertigo peel sessions?

particularly on those records where he plays a stringless.

Incidentally, one of those was enough.

i disagree, i'd put him in the top five stringless baritone guitar players ever

His pit band work on the touring cast recording of CATS is kind of an overlooked gem though

little known fact: he invented that pick-holder that you stick onto your guitar. His nickname was "butterhand" for a reason.

two years pass...

Despite the moments of goofiness/trolling, this list (the full 100) is kind of amazing.
