I'm a bit off-center in what I like: Frank Zappa (of course), Gabor Szabo, Jean Luc Ponty, Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks (who could forget How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away :) JJ Cale, Ry Cooder, Danny Gatton, Albert Lee, Robert Pete Williams, Son Thomas, RL Burnside. One of the nice things about living near New Orleans - The Jazz and Heritage Festival (especially the Gospel Tent).
