I already miss lots of those nominated above, plus the following who I remember fondly, who have passed on or into oblivion:

Alex Campbell, Alex Atterson, Paul McNeil, Redd Sullivan, Michael and Claire Milner, Bob Roberts, Stephane Grapelli, Peter Parkhill ....

Thanks to the minor miracle of sound recording, their voices or playing are with me yet. What I really miss is them!

Of my all-time heroes, I'd hate to think that I would never see Tom Paxton again.
