I've been told that the best way to guage someone's life is to look at what they've left behind them and to judge it by their own values.
I don't really know Inez, and I've only had scattered conversations with her son. But I know that he is a pleasant well meaning fellow who seems to be following in her footsteps. In that alone can't any parent take pride?
Even moreso, can't Kevin's constant support of the tradition and its performers be seen as a gift she has set up in perpetuity, without even trying - just out of love.
Now add to that everything she has put her mind to, and accomplised.

I don't know what those things are, but she's already ahead of the curve.

My sincere sympathy to her son. I hope to see him and his mini CD out and about again soon.
