The legendary Sonny Rhodes, master of the lapsteel blues 
guitar.
I work with a wide variety of people in and around the San Francisco bay area music scene.

Andy Santana is a favorite of mine.  Click on the photo to see the You Tube video that goes

Tom Bowers is not just a terriffic
bass player but he's also a hell of

years now and he still surprises 
me.
