It looks like crap, but he's got a lot of Google links. Rklawton 20:45, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

  • He's a pretty big part of the most email article on nytimes.com right now, so I'd say he's pretty well known. 216.67.23.43 04:55, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notability issues

I have my doubts about the notability of this JerryC. He apparently is in the process of recording his first record, although that doesn´t have to mean anything. The reference provided is behind a log-in, so very few readers will be able to verify it. The article is filled with weasel words and pov pr language (e.g. "His most famous work, Canon Rock, is widely considered to be a creative virtuosic rearrangement and internet phenomenon" (Italics added for emphasis)). There seems to be a cover of the song on YouTube, which just about anyone can do. According to the article, he is "unsigned" with a "small repertoire" of "known covers and original compositions".

He has been both mentioned and featured on television a number of times, the new york times and ABC news both ran stories on him (or more specifically, his song Canon Rock). The song canon rock has become so well known that funtwo (the most well known player to cover the song) performed the song for the korean ambassador in washington DC at the KorUS event. I agree there are POV issues, but i think that it is notable enough to have a wiki entry. Canon Rock should redirect to this page.

I've seen him featured on ABC as well (20/20 I believe) and they mentioned that he's appeared in quite a few other places. The videos of the Canon Rock piece seem to have become quite popular and been spread widely. There've certainly been people declared notable who had far less exposure. I think the entry is legit. On the other hand, I'm not sure whether there's really a need to list exactly what kinds of guitars he owns. It doesn't strike me as really adding anything.--Almagesh 00:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Definitely notable. There are people like Cory Kennedy hu have a page and are infinitely less talented/notable--Slogankid 17:56, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
