I'm Jigger, known in the real world as Sarah. I'm 24 and find myself thoroughly enmeshed in the non-profit museum world in Boston.

Folk music came to me in the guise of a lovely young man whose sister played in the Nashville folk band "Bards of a Feather." This young man courted me with folk music, and we ended up dating for several years. He broke my heart to go to grad school in Minnesota, and I broke his by staying in the east. I still can't hear the Danny Carnahan "True Thomas" without dissolving into tears.

After leaving college, I found myself missing folk music and the camaraderie of singing or playing with a group (lots of choirs and orchestras in college). I settled in Boston last year, and have just recently been learning tin whistle. I sing a bit and am enjoying getting my ear back.

You'll find me lurking around Mudcat occasionally. I'm always good for a sardonic comment or bizarre medieval fact.
