ineffable rhythym players

Number one for now and all time.

Keith Richards. undisputed master of them all

mike bloomfield for being a gentleman and sticking to his knitting. he never wanted to be a star and he made sure it never happened. how could you be sure it had even happened?

steve cropper comes in at number two and bruce welch is at number three.

four is the one and the only Jimi Hendrix here who basically made up all his own working rhythms and then put the icing in the cake so sometimes it was had to distinguish his leads from the engine.

John Lennon is the man who could integrate and synthesise anything and make something new. Him and Paul

now we have the curious case of Bob Dylan. Up to and including Highway 61 Revisited Bob himself laid down some of the most righteous strums you ever heard. He ate it up. All the 60's bedroom guys got the early albums so they could get some chops. hehehehe. Love Minus Zero No/Limit indeed. Spanish Harlem Incident for the g, c and d'ers.

dont forget Pete and the way he put wake up little susie to the beat and started in on the sus4's. hehehehe.

Jerry kept Trucking right to the end.

the rest could all do too. it is not exclusive. you have to pay your dues. this list isn't the list of only ones but the all time greats.

now you on your own kiddies.

dig?

'n bob 'ace' weir who drove the dead till they started to rise. him an jerry garcia still truckin' in my mind
