Nels Cline touring with Wilco?

[ArsOcarina@aol.com]

Hmmmm,

Every now and again I visit Nel's website. He's an L.A.
based guitarist acquaintance who sometimes loops on 
an original EH 16-Second delay with a cross-pollinating 
mutant punkish/rockish/free-jazz/art-noise sortta style. 
He's very gifted -- and original -- the kind of guitarist I'd 
like to be when I grow up (though, now that I'm past 50, 
I despair of that ever actually happening).

Anywho, imagine my shock/joy that he's gotten a gig
playing with Wilco on their current tour supporting the
release of their new CD "A Ghost Is Born." Not a bad
gig to have at all. Coincidentally, I'd never really listened 
to Wilco 'til just a few weeks ago. But, for some reason 
I've heard a lot of them lately (especially after a spot on 
NPR). One might wonder if he'll introduce Jeff Tweedy
and CO to "looping" per se. 

Who knows? Check out: http://www.nelscline.com/

He also (occasionally) trades his Fender Jazzmaster
for a lap steel -- a topic that has come up here a lot 
lately too. E-I-E-I-O!
