Cluin, you must hear the same sounds in your soul that I do! Your first list included people that have affected my taste, and style of music-- Willie P. Bennett with Fred Eaglesmith Red Shea and Dick Haynes (guitar and bass, respectively) with Gord Lightfoot Colin Linden (played with lots of greats) Rebecca Campbell (vocals) a favorite of mine since I first heard and saw her in the mid 80's David Woodhead (bassman extraordinaire) David is da bomb on da bass! And the reason I stepped up to the plate and bought a fretless bass. Ian LeFeuvre (great lead and fill guitar-work with Lynn Miles) Ian exemplifies the zenith of accompanists; He tailors his breaks and backup to enhance and support the melody---doesn't merely string a buncha tasty licks together...to carry the tailor metaphor further, his breaks are custom made rather than off the rack suits.
