What a love/hate relationship I've got with this type of thread!!! Every time one of these suckers comes up (most significant, best,most underrated, etc.) I get real excited, read the first couple of posts and then start thinking about them. Add this, rule out that, well, maybe not, oh yeah, that, well maybe for sure this, but only if...............let's check that thread again.....already mentioned, yeah that's good, aw geez, how could I forget about that one, well that's interesting too, lemme' see here.......Then I think some more come up with an idea, check again, find it posted along with three things in three other veins...........

No, well, maybe one of the earlier AND the one one with Watson....but which one best represents.........look, just ANY Jean Ritchie will do....but thinking of Appalachian dulcimers, you gotta' add in Niles...but which...............

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AH, TO HELL WITH IT!!! TO HELL WITH THIS THREAD!!! (I'll copy off the results later) Which way the Tavern....Oh yeah.......LEEJ!!! ... DRAW OFF A BIG ONE, I'M ON MY WAY.....(I'll be the guy in the back mumbling to himself)
