If I'd thought to think about it for any length of time, of course, I'd have realized that googling would answer all these questions in very few seconds, but I didn't.
It makes sense to me: I very often don't think to internet-search for artists I discovered before the advent of Google even though it's not like they've stopped existing. I grew up on Herdman's The Water Lily (1976), so for years I thought she was Australian; I've collected a handful of other songs by her over the years and I just now saw that she features on Fred Small's No Limit (1985), which makes me want to listen to that formative album all over again even though we've only ever owned it on cassette. I envy you hearing her live!
the more obscure of the folksingers I heard at random points in the '90s or early aughts
Oh, yeah? Who else? (No guarantees.)
So thank you for the tip!
You're very welcome!
And "John O'Dreams" I know from the Cherish the Ladies version.
I don't think I know them at all! I've heard different versions on the radio, but the only one I actually have is Herdman's, and that only since 2010. I learned it first from the babysitter who used to sing with me before bed, which feels appropriate.
