Leo--

Thanks for sending the dream--very interesting, and I'm not sure what 
to make of it.  Dream logic is fascinating, isn't it?

As for the list:

I'm not familiar with his Gun Club work, but he's in my favorite 
lineup of the Bad Seeds.  Hard to pick his contributions out from 
Blixa's there, though.

He does love those pinch harmonics too much, though.  His playing on 
the first two Band records is great, however.  BTW, having watched 
the DVD recently, I find myself wondering why Robertson got all the 
attention (and the acting offers) when Rick Danko was a lot better 
looking in the film.

Dunno about three, but it's true that there is a very Neil Young-ish 
territory he's best staying in.  It actually made the blues jam 
footage on the _Last Waltz_ DVD worth listening to.

Since you mentioned John Lennon on rhythm, I was going to mention 
Sterling as one of the best rhythm players I can think of...but there 
you are.

Frisell.  If you can find it, pick up Naked City's _Radio_.  Just do 
it.  I don't know what Zorn did to him on those sessions, but his 
playing there just kicks the ass of his solo playing.

Even "The Wind Cries 'Mary'"?  I think his clean tone on this is 
exquisite.  There's a fluidity to his playing that's really apparent 
on the clean stuff.
