Is there anyone Fred Frith hasn't played with?

Could be a short list. Frith had a monthly guest spot on Jim Price's show on WFMU in the 80s. Jim also had Peter Blegvad as a guest as well.

That's the one I was thinking about.
Though, to be honest, I'll probably not remember to wear it before I'm at the show. I have more than 150 WFMU T-shirts, so I usually don't think about which one I'll wear
