@meltedbuzzbox i have been listening to the ultimate wes montgomery to the exclusion of all other music for a week now, I'm totally transfixed. Please tell me what my next 2 or 3 albums should be! Thanks.

@viz I am guessing ultimate Wes has most of the good stuff on there. 

this album is always a nice varied mix if you haven't already got them on the ultimate album

I met James Burton at the 1990 winter NAMM. Much to my amazement, he was perfectly happy to have his photograph taken - out of respect, I thought I'd better ask!

Gilmour ......daylight.... Gary Moore, Eric, Hon mentions to Jobo, Lindsay B, Glenn Tilbrook, Reeves Gabrels, Buck Dharma, Porl Thompson, Adrian Belew ,Stacey Hayden (big raps fro telling me who he is without googling), Don Felder, Neil Young

@Gassage OK, I did have to Google him.... but the name's been nagging at me all week, and I knew it wasn't for the reason you've listed him.

Apologies... a bit of OCD weirdness coming up now:

So I was searching away, trying a different spelling - Stacy Haydon - and I found a couple of producer credits which were obviously the same guy, but not what I was thinking of.  Something was telling me it had to do with an early '80s Canadian hard rock/metal album(!), so I was digging out Lee Aaron albums and looking at the credits, no luck there.... then I found he'd produced the band Hanover Fist (aka Hanover), I have their album.  But I still thought he'd played guitar on something I knew.... the Hanover album mentioned a guy called Doug Baynham, a singer/bassist, and that rang bells, so I searched on him... and I finally found it!

Stacy Heydon was on a great album called Timing by the band Urgent, in 1984.  He mixed (and probably engineered) the album but only played guitar on my favourite track, "You're Not The One".  I'm looking at the album now, I can hear the songs in my head, but I can't play it - I wish I still had a turntable!

There you go.  Sorry that got a bit weird.
