Great reading this thread, and to see so many different singers appreciated. I could agree with many of them, including old friends Art Thieme and Dwayne Thorpe. But, the singer I really like best is one perhaps not many people have heard... Jerry Rau, the Minnesota Minstrel. I have never heard anyone sing a song so much from the heart with so little artifice and such love for the music. Wherever you are, Jerry, I miss hearing your voice..
