1. Ellen Stekert singing "Songs of a New York State Lumberjack" (Folkways LP).

2. My late mom, Marion Schoenberg Suffet who went by the name Marion Shaw. A jazz singer by preference, she nevertheless gave into my childhood taste and sang "The Wabash Cannon Ball" and "Sixteen Tons" to me while accompanying herself on her Martin uke.

3. Some woman named Betty whom I heard recently. She's a school security officer in New York City.

4. Alison Kelley of both The Johnson Girls and The Next Tradition.

5. Some woman whose name I either forget or else never knew, who got up and sang some songs in a pub in Sligo 14 years ago. She was really good.

6. Ellen Moslin, someone I went out with once in high school.

7. Bonnie Dobson, whom Ellen Moslin and I went to hear once in Greenwich Village.

8. Pete Seeger.

9. Woody Guthrie.

10. Sis Cunningham.
