Think I'd have to break this up some. I've had some long-time favorites whose music still carry me through, but have matured and changed somewhat.

EARLY: Jimmy Webb Laura Nyro Rupert Holmes Janis Ian James Taylor CSN&Y Carole King Bob Dylan

NOW: Harry Chapin James Keelaghan Stan Rogers Brian McNeill Richard Thompson Chip Taylor Steve Tilston

ALWAYS: Trad./Anonymous Weird Al Yankevic

Thanks for this thread, you've all given me new writers/performers to look out for!
