Kate Wolf, Janis, Hendrix, the Allmans, Townes, Bessie Smith, Buddy Holly, Elizabeth Cotten, the Red Clay Ramblers as we knew them, Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, Jim Morrison, and a guy named Bob White who probably isn't dead but apparently doesn't perform any more (my parents last saw him at the Ark in Ann Arbor, Michigan, 20+ years ago).

I WILL miss Norman Blake, Fats Domino, Jean Ritchie, Etta Baker (is she still around?), Paul Geramia, Willie Nelson, Arlo Guthrie, Tom Paxton.
