There were lots of great singer/songwriters in the '60's and '70's. Not to slight the likes of The Beatles, Stones, Baez etc, but for shaping the music of a generation, Dylan and Joni Mitchell immediately pop into my mind. Thanks, BlueJay |

I first started experimenting with alternate guitar tunings because of Joni Mitchell although pete Seeger certainly had been doing it before. All us little girl guitar-players in the seventies wanted to be just like Joni! |
