If we are limiting it to 'folk' heroes...those we knew or wish we did... I still have a list several pages long.

There are many in the Mudcat OBITS whom I met or knew personally and would like to finish conversations with (like Utah Phillips), but I would also like to meet Jeanne Robertson, Davey Stewart, Hamish Imlach, Burl Ives, the semi-famous Walt Robertson, Maybelle Carter, Kilby Snow...(to learn exactly how to make brass picks for autoharp)...and 57 others...

(please, let's not make this a list of 'everyone famous you ever heard of... *wry smile*)
