All of the above are good nominations. I was tremendously influenced by most of them, starting with the Weavers, thence to the Kingston Trio, a rather brief interest in PPM, thence to Joan Baez, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Ian & Sylvia, Judy Collins, Leonard Cohen, and finally Mr Bob Dylan. In the end, Baez, Buffy, and Bob were the heavy hitters for me...but that is not to deny the tremendous initial impact of the Weavers, the Kingston Trio, and PPM. Each one led to the next.

I was, however, unaware of Lonnie Donnegan, since he was over in the UK and I was in North America.
