that would be Mother Mabel Carter.  and yes, she did alot for guitar
playing the world over...she was quite a revolutionary in many ways.

alright, so sitars aren't big on the list..... however i feel duty bound
to defend indian music stuff in general.  what you're all so mad about
isn't _sitars_ per se its lame sitar playing.  so don't trust hippies
but perhaps people shouldn't be so hasty to poop on indian musical
instruments in general.  there are plenty of bad folksy, strum strum
guitar types but we all know that that doesn't spoil the accoustic
guitar now does it.....tsk.
