Folkweb
A local Northeast on-line CD store specializing in folk and acoustic music. These guys agreed to sell my CD's when Tower Records didn't even return my phone calls (they still don't). So check them out. Buy a CD (preferably one of mine).

3 Lives and Company
Speaking of literacy, my personal true favorite bookstore in the world. If you're ever in New York City, take a peek.

The Onion
Holy sh*t! Man walks on f***ing moon! My source for news.

the garden verge
This duo from New York City is like a cross between the Story and the Indigo Girls, but better in every way. They're so good, I had to start dating one of them. Beautiful songs, savory harmonies.

Summer Pierre
One of the first people I saw in the Boston open-mic scene who made me almost pee in my pants, her songs are so good. I co-wrote the song "Never Enough Time" with Summer, and I have learned an incalculable amount from her about songs.

Jim Infantino
What can I say about Jim Infantino? I try to act all cool and nonchalant when I see him walking around the streets in Davis Square, but really I want to break down and hug his feet and tell him how inspirational he's been to me, both with his earlier solo work, and more recently, with Jim's Big Ego.
