As promised: In a 2008 thread entitled "Folk Dreams," Jack Blandiver related that he had dreamt about winning some sort of competition, first prize in which was "to take Maddy Prior to a singaround of my choice for her 50th birthday." Jack elaborated for a paragraph or three and asked if anyone else had these sort of dreams. To which Diane immediately responded, "Her fiftieth? Did you fall asleep in a Tardis?" I apologize if I am the only one who finds this so funny, but I laughed at it for hours then, and it still makes me chuckle. It is how I will always remember Diane, for her blazingly quick and razor sharp wit, plus her encyclopedic knowledge and her passion for music. RIP Diane. -Glenn
