I was going to make a joke after the song list got posted, to the effect of, "Where did you get one of my old set lists?"--but the point is that this is not only about performers, but about the songs that collective canon of songs that we all learned from them.

Say what you want about promising young performers, bottom line is, back then, there was a list of songs that we all knew, could play and could sing, and there is nothing like that now.
