I knew he worked with a lot of people but i didn't know the list was THAT long. He IS one of my favorite guitarists. I can always tell when he's playing on a song (like Lindsey)...Definately an inspiration too.

My thoughts exactly, Joe.
This is such a wonderful thing for us to get the chance to read. All the hard work that went into it is truly appreciated. Waddy Wachtel sounds like a delightful person in addition to being one of the best rock and roll guitar players. I wanted to hug him after reading this. I love the fact that it starts out with that Letterman quote (I remember seeing that Letterman show). Waddy's anectodes are the best. Loved the bits about working with Stevie, especially about how her fans will embrace new material because of the familiar chord progression. Fascinating. It was also cool to hear from his wife too. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
