Steel2Velvet Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I suppose Woody Guthrie, Roy Orbison, Duke Ellington, Ray Charles and Buddy Hollie would all have to have a place at that table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 someone said keith richards....um he isnt dead... I believe that was a joke. He is pretty much a zombie. A brilliant zombie, but a zombie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
