this week's email question

This week's question comes from Jill Goldesberry, IA “Why aren't Jorma Kaukonen or Jack Casady in your Hall of Fame?”

So far there are only 24 guitarists that have been inducted. All of them have been voted in by listeners and music fans who visit the Chop Shop website. It’s not suppressing that the biggest names Hendrix, Page, Van Halen & Jeff Beck were the first to be inducted. As for Jorma Kaukonen, the average listener wouldn’t know who he is. Even considering his work with Jefferson Airplane and his outstanding acoustic work he would finish dead last in the voting, simply because very few people know his name. As for Jack Casady he is known primarily as a bass player, and therefore it makes no sense to talk about adding him to a Hall of Fame of guitarists.
