I was thinking of Arlo Guthrie but the other artists would have been acceptable too.
#14 Woodstock - CSNY or Joan Baez
Yup, Either artist would have been acceptable, or Joni Mitchell, or Matthew's southern comfort.
#27 Midnight At The Oasis - Maria Muldaur
Yes Sir.
Only one more I know ... :-\\
#11 Fire Lake - Bob Seger
Yes sir.
And with all that, only 2 remaining.

Yup, and very clever lyric too.
Now there's only one left, #12. So, I think I'll remove the limit.
Who can complete this quiz?

Added to #8, maybe this makes it easier? It's a song from the early1970s, pretty much everyone tried to sing along to it when they heard it.
