Sheesh, Kat! That's like asking which of your kids you love the most!

How could I ever choose between Art (who has been a close friend for over 30 years,) Sandy & Caroline Paton who have meant everything to me for closer to 40 years, and Kytrad, who I had the great, great honor of booking for a concert further back than it would be fair to say. They are all wonderful people, first. They've done an enormous amount for folk music (second) and are wonderful singers and musicians (third.) I'll give you switching the last two around in order but when it comes to fine human beings, you could throw all three names in the basket (Sandy'nCaroline being one) and you couldn't go wrong, whichever name you drew.

You know, when they started the Baseball Hall Of Fame, they had a whole group of people who went in on the first ballot, just because there was no way to pick between so many stars.

And besides, to my knowledge, none of these three candidates got where they are because they used steroids.

American Heros, all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
