Yeah --I understand this --but the King Crimson of the 80's is nothing like the King Crimson of the seventies. The 80's stuff is a very technical/electronic type thing --Tony Levin started playing with them in the 80"s. A lot of these guys make money doing seminars and summer programs at universities or music schools. The Court of Crimson King is dated --but rest assured it doesn't give the entire scope of the band. Maybe check out Three of a Perfect Pair, Discipline, or Beat and any of the 90's stuff --I'm not sure what they're doing now.

Hey guys - I know this is different than the musicians you have posted so far, but I saw this and thought it was amazing...this guy's name is Jake Shimabukuros - he plays of all things the yukelele (don't know if that is spelled right). He plays a version of George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" - he does an awesome job. Check it out:

Yep --my dad plays the uke and I always kind of looked at it as a toy --but like most things , my ignorance is shown in good time. Very good.
