Hi Talbot10

Is Dave Mallot country? I ask because Allison Krause sings his compositions. Allison is great country artist.

Hi JG,
Dave Mallett is a folk singer/songwriter from Central Maine. He's the one who wrote The Garden Song, recorded by several artists, and played many times on Sesame Street during a scene where the Muppets are out working in their garden. That's probably his most well known song. He's had several songs recorded by many artists, including Peter, Paul and Mary, and John Denver.
This past November, we had a Mallett house concert at Val McGee's house and discovered that many Lightfoot fans are also into Dave's music. If you'd like to read more about him, check out his website at http://www.davidmallett.com
