I agree with Phil on this. Wizz Jones should be up for this one. He was performing this stuff back in the 1950's and is still going strong today. A lot of performers - including, of course, Eric Clapton - claim to have been inspired or influenced by him. I saw him at the Blue Walnut Cafe - a tiny venue in Torquay - last year. It was the first time I'd seen him in thirty years and I thought he was superb. The old magic's still there.......
