In an attempt to swerve out of the way of trouble, here, it suddenly occurs to me that the subject really would include performers and personages that are commonly referenced revered by Mudcatters--beyond William Shatner, that is--

Merle Travis and his guitar style(or a misunderstanding thereof) is often invoked here-- as are The Carter Family and Mother Maybelle's guitar style(or a misunderstaning thereof)-- Nic Jones is revered by some here in a manner usually reserved for the dead, and Martin Carthy is often cited in the manner some might cite the Twelve Tables of the Law--
