This is a list of links
to the people who have played on any of Ellis' albums. We searched for the best
links we could find for each of these people. Some of the people listed here won't
have links because we couldn't find any that were significant enough to include. But
we did want to list everyone who played on Ellis' albums even if they don't have links
posted. Please have fun browsing these links. Several of the people listed
here are major talents in their own right and have a happy little alphabetical place in
our c.d. collections. *grin* (Am I compulsive or what? Don't answer
that!)

Jon has informed us most graciously of the error of our ways. *grin* He's a
man in a band called the Loomers. He and Ellis have quite a history together
and go way back. Jon's also on the End Construction compilation and I gotta say I love the
song "Drinking You." The Loomers also occasionally back EP when he plays
in the MA area. All these reasons and more to go visit their site! :)
Tom West - Hammond B-3 organ
Background Vocalists
Ellen Cross
Jonatha Brooke (formerly of The Story)
I'm telling you to take a listen. Jonatha's got some great songs and besides that, I
like her! You gotta problem wid dat? I didn't think so. *grin*
Brooke Burton
Stuart Ferguson
Patty Griffin
Let me rave for a moment about Patty's talent. Her voice is phenomenal and her songs
are strong and uniquely hers. Look, listen, buy! Another order from me!
Don't you like it when I'm demanding? LOL.
Ralph Jaccodine
Ralph is Ellis' manager and a darn nice guy to boot! We're not saying that just
because he gave us permission to put up a web site for Ellis either. Well, that
might be part of it...but not a very big part. *grin*
Jennifer Kimball (formerly of The Story)
I haven't heard anything by Jennifer but since she's on Ellis' albums, then I'm willing to
make a bet she's good. Check her out and let me know what you think!
Martin Sexton
I've heard a few of Martin's songs on the radio and enjoyed them. He's on my
"To Buy" list. Once you've heard him, I'm sure you'll see why.
Mark Tanzer
Dar Williams
Dar is one of my favorite female performers. She and Mary Chapin Carpenter have a
special place in my heart. Dar is the darkly funny and sarcastic part of that place.
*grin* I especially adore "The Pointless, Yet Poignant, Crisis Of A Co-Ed"
and "When I Was A Boy".
