Man there are some greats on this thread. Kendall, I'm glad you had the guts to say the ones you did. Kinda fely funny to try to say it.

The gones? Probably at the top of my list because of where they were headed when they died too young---Jim Croce, Harry Chapin, Buddy Holly. Also Frank Proffitt, Merle Watson, Gram Parsons, Hoyt axton, Steve Goodman......

I'd miss everyone Kendall named, and also Jean Ritchie, Emmylou, John Prine,........hell, even Kendall. (stick around bro)

He has gone on to different things in the trad field, but I miss the Patrick Sky of the 60's. An excellent folksinger (trad), but a superior songwriter and interpreter. Great stuff.
