I don't see no pic, fortunately I have one or two of my own taken by the recently deceased Sylvia Pitcher. Sandy Darlington & Jeannie Blackmar were one of a number of American duos that were reasonably early visitors to the UK in the sixties and were popular around the folk clubs. We booked them into the Ballads and Blues Association Club once or twice. They had two albums on the Xtra label issued while they were here. Some years later Jeannie Mclerie as she was by then came over to tour the UK with Ken Keppler and while here came down to our regular Sunday night Old Time pickng session in London where we were able to catch up and pick a number of tunes. I think she was the first person I heard play "Nail That Catfish to a tree" She was certainly a very able musician.
