If there were no songwriters there would be no songs: good, bad or indifferent.

I could narrow a list to about 10,000 songs.

I love "Maggie", "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", "TTAAC" (Dylan singin' it), "Carrie Ann", "Bird on a Wire", "Twenty Years Ago", "Maggie May", "Baby Blue" (by Badfinger), "Love Minus Zero, No Limit" and lots of others. I think what I like most is that each of the songs I care for bring back vivid memories of people, situations, times. I can't listen to "Twenty Years Ago" without getting tears in my eyes; nor can I listen to "WOTEF" and not think of the courage that people show on a daily basis. The Neville Brothers' rendition of "BOAW" is awesome. God knows, it makes a guy humble.
