John Prine, Jackson Browne, Guy Clark, Lucinda Williams, Gillian Welch, Emmylou Harris, Allman Brothers, Eddie Arnold, Hank williams, Sr., Woody Guthrie, Guthrie Trapp, Grayson Capps, Steve Earle and many more . . .

Art History biographies; books, John Steinbeck, John Irving, John Cheever, Thomas Tryon that genre.

Charley, movies about artist: Surviving Picasso, The Girl with the Pearl Earring, Pollack etc. Movies that are thought provoking. Recent movies I like are "Juno," "Michael Clayton," "No,Country for Old Men"- but I have always like what the Coen Bros. Have produced. The funniest move was "The Big Lebowski"
