Oh yeah I forgot Gordon Lightfoot...good one Courage, You and I have a lot of similar preferences...I would have said Natalie Merchant before Motherland but IMHO she's come waaaay down since Tigerlily and Ophelia, which are brilliant.

I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

Sam's the real deal alright...did you see his performance at the Grey Cup halftime show on the weekend? One of these days, he'll be the one getting two tunes...mark my words...
He's got way too much talent to be a "one CD wonder"...
