Based on the lists above, there's clearly a lot more for me to listen to. But my top five albums -- both in terms of influence on me and that I still play frequently -- include in no particular order: Jez Lowe - Old Durham Road Christy Moore - Iron Behind the Velvet Dick Gaughan - Live in Edinburgh Richard Shindell - Blue Divide Makem & Clancy - In Concert Hmmm...as for top five songs, this would likely change with the wind, but at moment: Little Musgrave - Planxty (from the recent reunion concert DVD) My Get up and Go - Pete Seeger (Headlines and Footnotes) Ballad of Mary Magdalen - Cry, Cry, Cry (w/ Lucy Kaplansky on vocals) '52 Vincent Black Lightning - Greg Brown (The Live One) Go, Lassie, Go - The Clancy Brothers (Reunion) Odd that three of those five songs are live versions... Cheers, Peter
