For me it is almost always the folk singers and trubadour types. The gals and guys that touch me not only with what they say but how they say it. People like Danny O'Keefe, Gordon Lightfoot, Richard Thompson, Tim Hardin, Tom Rush, Joni Mitchell, Eric Anderson, and Nick Drake come to mind. I would have to throw early songs by James Taylor, Paul Simon, Neil Young and Steve Stills in there as well. Cheers, Lee
