Archeologists recently discovered manuscripts showing that we were wrong about the number of the beast. (this is for real, btw) Apparently it is 616, so you are in the clear. Interestingly, 616 is the area code for Ann Arbor, which comes as no surprise.

Here are my picks:

Guitarist: (style) John Scofield
Guitarist (technical) Buckethead

Sax: Karl Denson
Drummer: Robert Holmes (Steve Kimock Band) <-- no one who has ever seen this guy could possibly disagree.
Songwriter: Ani Difranco
Cellist: Yo-yo-ma
Mandolin: David Grisman
Multiple instruments: Casey Benjamin (Project Logic)
Tambourine: Yoko Ono
