Perhaps what's better is listing the people that most frequently inspire me and serve as a catalyst towards me writing: Marc Douglas Berardo, Erik Balkey, Jackson Browne, Jud Caswell, Joe Crookston, Archie Fisher, Doug Irwin, James Keelaghan, Terence Martin, Cynthia Mazzant, David Olney, Jimmy Webb, Lee Wessman, George Wirth. (and Mark Helprin. Sara Teasdale. Adrienne Rich. And Annie LaMott.)
There are many others, of course.
If there are names there you don't know in that list, it's worth some research time.

I was pretty honored to work on Carolann's record... That Martyrs song is I guess kind of funny. I wish I wrote more funny stuff.
Hey Hope Machine is playing in Williamsport at Coffee & Tea Room, 410 Pine Street this Friday, Aug 7, 8pm... I guess maybe it is a hike for you? But the closest we're getting as of right now.
Jim- You did a really GREAT JOB on Carolann Solobello's CD cover design. Really great. Those are some vulnerable songs and you did right by them. THANKS!!!!! Take care. Fred G
