I just have to comment on a few of the previous posts...

Spider John Koerner rocks! Hats off to Spider Robinson - his books led me to investigate much cool music.

Arlo Guthrie used to freqently play at Waterloo Village, New Jersey.. right in my father's backyard, give or take a few minutes driving time. Unfortunately, this was before I saw the light of reason and expanded my music tastes to multiple genres. Sigh.

And since my music taste is so obscenely wide and my music collection obscenely varied, I'm not going to try to make any genre distinctions to pick out my favorite folk artists. :)
