Eric Hoffsten's Chugchanga-L Poll 2001 Entry

A sad, sad year in so, so many ways. I know, I know... in my attempt to
represent every month of the year while simultaneously keeping the list
close to 20, I've inevitably left off several other notable "releases."
Looking at the list below, September wasn't such a bad month compared to
some of the others. Yeesh, June was bad enough w/out my throwing in Joe
Henderson and Chico O'Farrill...

1. Jerry Wick (January)
2. John Fahey (February)
3. Dale Evans (February)
4. Iannis Xenakis (February)
5. Robert Ealey (March)
6. Papa John Phillips (March)
7. Sandy Bull (April)
8. Joey Ramone (April)
9. Billy Higgins (May)
10. Boozo Chavis (May)
11. Chet Atkins (June)
12. John Hartford (June)
13. John Lee Hooker (June)
14. Fred Neil (July)
15. Mimi Farina (July)
16. Color Blind James (July)
17. Ron Townson (August)
18. Jay Migliori (September)
19. Rusty Kershaw (October)
20. George Harrison (November)
21. Rufus Thomas (December)

Okay, in looking over my list I realized I have to add three more, two of
which managed to squeak in during the last couple weeks of the year. The
other I simply momentarily overlooked. Sigh. What a fucking year.

20.33 Michael Karoli (November)
21.33 Florian Fricke (December)
21.66 Gareth Williams (December)
