David Arkenstone (a New Age guy, the best of them, I write to that music), Bruce Hornsby, Eric Johnson, Stevie Ray Vaughn, can always get trapped by the local classical station if Vivaldi, Bach,Handel, Telemann, or Beethoven is playing (or La Mer; my favorite symphony), Pink Floyd/Gilmour, Andreas Vollenweider (another one I write to), Planxty (you guys that like Irish music, if you never heard them, I feel sorry for you; not together anymore, but Christy Moore at least is still touring, and Andy Irvine I believe), Levon Helm, EL&P, Midnight Oil (another great band since disbanded; I love their raw power and musicality), Peter Buffett (another New Ager, who incorporates a lot of Native American signatures in his music), R. Carlos Nakai (great music to go to sleep to, with a nod to a former thread)....but let's not think that MK takes a backseat to ANY of them. Lately KTGC, SL and RPD have not been too far away from my writing area either.
