There was also Duane Eddy, Chuck Berry... diverse I know! Perhaps all these influenced me in a way that I have always appreciated the melody and tried to bring this out in my playing.
Later I was greatly influenced by Stefan Grossman and his contemporary Ragtime / blues guitarists, then people like Leo Kottke, Martin Simpson, and more recently Franco Morone, just to name a few.

Franco Morone, that is a name we don't see around these parts.
I discovered him by just looking around on cdbaby.com for new artists to listen to. He has quite a few albums there for anybody interested/curious enough to check him out:
