Dave Illingworth	Who's your personal favorite song writer (221* d)	RE: Who's your personal favorite song writer	21 Oct 08
So many good writers that I love have been already mentioned. I was particularly pleased to see one mention (by "Francy") of DAVID OLNEY. A personal favourite. He writes in such a variety of forms:- blues, country, rock'n'roll, folk (some that sound "traditional"). He is a master of putting words in the mouths of different characters, e.g. :- The French prostitute in "1917" The ventriloquist's dummy in "WHO's THE DUMMY NOW" The ass that carried Jesus through Jerusalem in "BRAYS" and loads more. A fine live performer, too. "Arkie" mentioned Aussie songwriters. The late SLIM DUSTY and his wife JOY McKEAN wrote some fine songs about outback characters. Not sure if anyone has mentioned the Irish writer MICK HANLEY - a good singer, too.
