It's not just that it's the warmest instrument in rock, country and blues (Williams' favorite playgrounds) but that Doug Pettibone is the best unknown guitarist in all three.

...Kong, move aside—another Harvard food joint is trying to woo hungry late-night patrons. B. Good kicked off its 2 a.m.-weekends on Sept. 19, giving Harvard students another place to satisfy their post-partying munchies.
