Well, you're pretty much exposing your limitations here. Where, for example,
are classical or flamenco players? You won't mind if I roll around on the
floor laughing until my sides split that you left Nashville out of the
picture.
It's ridiculous to go down this road. For every list of ten that you can
convince yourself of today, there are people you will suddenly realize you
left off or slighted tomorrow.
But you clearly haven't listened to enough music in your life. Here is some
homework:
1. Any of Danny Gatton's albums
2. Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus
3. Segovia - Fantasia Para un Gentilhombre, etc.
4. Bola Sete
5. Wes Montgomery
6. Steve Morse
6. Read liner notes and check out the number of appearances of guys like
Steve Cropper, Cornell DuPree, John Tropea
And a cast of thousands....

You'll have to define pertinent.

I would try to define it, but I'd better not. It probably means
"anything".
Can lesbians be pertinent?
