Did anybody see Crossroads with Steve Vai and Ry Cooder? It was awesome.

Ry is the consummate professional. Everything he touches is worthy of any music lovers' interest. He is an ethnomusicologist who has done so much to expose me to very important music of other cultures.
Perhaps his immense diversity has been perceived as a deficit,but his exclusion is an embarrassment to the hall of fame.

Duane Allman , saw Ry play slide in LA in the 70's and that is The single reason why he played slide guitar. He took it back to Macon and history was being made ever since. Ry should be recognized as he is one of America's Historic contributors of American music. He is in the class of Leon Russell .
