Ian,

Thanks for the story.  As I suspected, Jesse doesn't go unnoticed or
unappreciated!

Well, he certainly figures in my personal list.

Hi folks,

Just wondering whether Jesse Taylor made any "best" lists for his fine work
over the years (the strong arm of the acoustic guitar world)?  If you've ever
seen him with Ely you know how his ability to shape a song is unmatched.  My
two centsKate.

  WellDel said Earle was a good guitar player.  Whether that's gushing,
or
  whether that translates to "one of the best guitar players in country
  music," never mind *the* best (male) acoustic guitar player is open to
  interpretation.
