Excellent list (but you know I have a Floyd bias). Haven’t heard of Loreena McKennitt so need to check that out.

Loreena McKinnitt is a Canadian singer who has a definite Celtic influence combined with Middle-Eastern and Northern Asian influences. Her music is awesome.

Word on Bela Fleck,something about the bluegrass flows so well. You can’t go wrong.
Also Keller Williams,Larry Keel are my standbys and when I’m feeling funky some Les Claypool/Primus.
When the ole gaffer and I get in there together we play Paul Simon and a little Universal Blues by Bobby Rattcliff. He’s a good one to check out. Great guitar on that one. And the lyrics are catchy.

I have to agree with Loreena McKennitt, her music is wonderful!
KMFDM! Hmm I haven’t pulled those CD’s out for a while, I wonder what kind of beads would come from that…
I confess to listening to the Pet Shop Boys when I make beads – can’t help it, it’s happy bouncy music – makes good monkee beads!
