Mac gets ALF EDWARDS! Very good. Now how about the Appalachian legend?

********************************************************

Simple one. heh, heh,

1. First performer to play an ovation guitar on stage.

2. Was called "the singing Christian"

3. Under his "real" name, recorded this line: "If you won't send me a woman...then send me a SISSY man!"

4. Personal bit: In my opinion, one of the finest players who ever lived.

Hey, I'm outta control!

New one.

1. Spent much of her/his life as a busker singing for theatre line-ups.

2. Was "collected" by a Mudcatter.

3. Was proud of being one of the "Travelin' People"

4. Fiercely protective of his/her songs. Would resort to violence (so the stories go) if someone sang one of his/her songs.

5. Album cover says: "World's Greatest Folksinger".
