Strings Attached

It has come to our attention that February 11 has been designated National (or International or possibly Cosmic) Guitar Day.

And so, we have invited a few pickers and strummers to join us in a Guitar Extravaganza. Ready, gentlemen? And ladies? Then pick up your picks.

Performing now, if not in your living room, perhaps in your head: Django Reinhardt, Les Paul, Jimi Hendrix, Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Chet Atkins, Emily Remler, Keith Richards, Ed Bickert, Chuck Wayne, Al Henrickson, Sharon Isbin, Scott Harding, Charlie Christian, Herb Ellis, Billy Bauer, Jim Hall, Robert Johnson, Barney Kessel, Oliver Gannon, Grant Green, Freddie Green, George Benson, Kenny Burrell, Tuck Andress, Eric Clapton, Charlie Byrd, Slim Gaillard, Eddie Lang, B.B. King, Flatt & Scruggs (okay, Scruggs played banjo, but that's close enough) and Blind Lemon Jefferson.

With gittars, that's as good as it gits.
