Got to admit that I copied many of these right off the discography of the Vanguard Roots of Folk CD set. But I am confident that these songs have all received enough airplay to qualify. But what order? I am still waiting for others to get out of the gate and *contribute some songs*. Then we can order them. Oh, goody!

Oh, and can't forget:
Country Roads (sung by John Denver; written by Bill Danoff)

Oh, oh, another vignette arising...Yes, Bill and Taffy (then, still married) played that song at a McGovern for President rally in Columbia, MD in 1972. I stood on the stage right *next to him* with his designated delegate slate from Anne Arundel County, along with Mom, one of two "family acts" in that election. That was the last time I voted for a presidential candidate I truly believed in. Can't leave that song off of *any* list, even if it is over-played and over-requested! (Oh, and there are a couple of lines never recorded that I will share when I find them again among my papers.)

Hey, they left Bryan Bowers off'n that list, among other notables! Why can't "they" *ever* get the lists right?!! ;-)
