Bearing in mind that a singer, or even a drummer, might be called a musician, who would be the second best of all time, all things considered?

It's a pretty lofty title, so choose wisely.

[RSettee]

Do you mean specific musicians, or just a title in general?

[Die BREMSSPUR]

That's so easy.

Stevie Ray Vaughan

[RSettee]

If you mean specific musicians, that's sorta difficult for me to answer, because I like different musicians for so many different reasons. And the different instruments are so entirely different than each other, that it's sort of like saying "who's the best athlete ever in sports?". Different sports take different criteria for difficulty.

Can we have a "second best of each category"? Even with that, there's so many sub, sub categories.

[Peter Weihe]

Probably Bach and Mozart are both second to none.

But if I had to choose one of them No1, the other one had to be No2, hhmmmmm.
And how can we compare a great blues player to those guys?

What about Paganini?
We haven't heard him play but there are all those stories about women tearing off their clothes when they heard him.

That's a tough question, probably impossible to answer.
I am afraid will end with several geniuses in the top position and many more in the second.

I didn't ask about first place...that is taken.

If you choose Stevie Ray, at least spell his name correctly.

Bach and Mozart would probably be great choices, but we only know them now from their written works.

Paganini had the rep.

McCartney is not at all a bad choice, but recent taste might ameliorate...

My good friend Michael Hedges. He in fact, might also have been the second best BAND as well.

Best Regards,

Bill

Care to share or should we already know?

You certainly should.

Hedges is another good choice.

Sorry,

I am the second best speller...
