I was fortunate to receive this tape from Marion. After listening to it several times I am struck with how she can see into the hearts of regular folks in their extraordinary lives. Quite a wide swath of people and places. I do go for the historic songs and viewpoints so naturally there is much for me to enjoy here. But I was in stiches with "St. Anne's Reel (With an E)". "Daughter You Must Never Say" contains a philosophy that we can all stand to take a good look at. Besides being a song I will be playing myself. As well as the "Newfoundland Sealing Disaster" a masterful work. And "Cecelia Delory". The "Home Waltz" touched me. May have to work on that one too. It's impressive how Marion can show these varied points of view of different lives. Well done. And, thanks, Rex
