I was all too happy when I first learned of Craig Fuller joining the reformation of one of my all time fav bands, Little Feat. I thought he did an amazing job on his first couple albums w/ them.

The version of PPL with Vince Gill is basically the 'Vince Gill Band". He wrote 80% of the songs, sang lead vocals and played lead guitar. He was only in his early 20's at the time. The one "hit" he had with them was "Let Me Love You Tonight".

He didn't last long, going solo soon after.

Let's not forget Roy:

That's the late Michael Rhodes.

We lost a great one when he passed about a year ago.

Scroll down in this link: he played with "a few" big names.

Yes indeed, a fine, fine player.
A sad loss.

no tele... but the last few years of Michael's career was with Joe (studio and live bands)... such a smooth player.

This was a great night of Tele’s on farrrr!
I know the floor mgr at the Rams Head so I always ask for the show poster at the ticket window when they swop them out nearing the end of a show. Got it signed by GE Smith and a local slinger Dave Chappell. GE played MC and told Tele stories, facts, and legends between songs. The whole night was great!

He was great. By the time I got my poster Weider was already gone. I was hoping to have all 3 sign it.

I agree on this.
I've seen Robben several times, and he has a very distinctive Tele sound, plus he plays great.
Nice man also.
