Thread Name: Living Singers of Traditional Ballads - N. America
Subject: RE: Living Singers of Traditional Ballads
Kathy W in particular, great list. Here's a few more from my list of local FSGW people:

Andy Wallace's wife Sondra
Carly Gewirz
Linda Rice-Johnston
Lorraine Van Buren
Jennifer Woods
Also Jerry Epstein, Dick Swain, Nancy Mattila, Susan of DT and Dick Greenhaus, who aren't local but come sing with us anyway.

Lisa Null is one of those on my list along with a number of people mentioned above by other folks. (Also my husband, Bill D). Hadn't thought of Sue Mathieu and Mark Gilston though! The list keeps growing, this is just people we get together with informally, it's up to 20 now.

Lorraine VB and I have often remarked on how fortunate we are to be part of a community where there is so much musical richness. It sure adds a lot of joy to life.

BTW if we're trying to be comprehensive here, Elizabeth LaPrelle's mom Sandy LaPrelle is also a singer of old ballads.
