Absolutely no reliable sources found pertaining to him proper, just trivial mentions found. Despite multiple credits, he does not appear to be notable without any sources to verify so much that he exists.

 * I'd like to point out that a musician can meet any of the 11 WP:MUSIC criteria without having references pertaining just to them. That is just criterion #1 (WP:GNG), one of the many criteria that can be applied. It should not be used as a sole reason for deletion. - Mgm|(talk) 10:21, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Still, even the sources I'm finding that mention him and someone else focus more on the someone else and aren't really "non-trivial". Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 17:09, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * True, but the article is about a session guitarist and a career built on accompanying others on their albums and on tour. So there's no claim that he's a star, just that he's notable in that capacity, which there is ample evidence for. Whether there's enough substantial coverage of that role is another matter, and it's not entirely clear, but I think cumulatively it's enough. He's played with some big time acts over a substantial career with many credits. ChildofMidnight (talk) 04:44, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep Google news has quite a few mentions of the guy on major tours and album performances. I don't see substantial coverage of him in particular however, but the breadth of accomplsihment seems notable to me. ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:36, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
