Respectfully, I would like to 'tweak' this thread just a little bit. Rather than speak to how many 'greats' (the same 100) we've all run into, how about this spin ... who did you run in to that REALLY TAUGHT YOU SOMETHING! For myself, as a first contribution, I'll bypass mention of Walt Robertson and talk about the late Roy Guest, from England. I met him when I was perhaps 18 (and I was once, believe it or not). For whatever reasons, we hung out a lot. He taught me how to really 'milk a song' (Brennon On The Moor). That is, how to really sing a song so well, that the audience wanted to hear it again, just after you'd completed it. He was a master at that! I hope that this 'tweaks' your interest ... I love to hear your imput. CHEERS, Bob (deckman) Nelson
