KTRAd = Jean Ritchie? OMIGOD.

Picture me bowing down and doing the Wayn'es World "I'm Not Worthy" Routine. I worshipped Jean Ritchie as a teen in the 1980s. I pestered all my older relatives follwing them around with tape recorders and notepads making them recite lyrics.

Man oh Man - the people you see on Mudcat.


Someday I might even find that guy that used to date my older sister who wrote a song I pinched from him before his memory even faded. He played it for me in Newton Falls in 1974 or 75 and I'll be darned if I can remember his first or last name. My sister denies all memory of that summer. I recorded that song twice. I have faith I'll come across him someday because he was a solid muscian and songwriter even at the age of 17. It was a nice sad little melody with a lilt and muadlin teenage lyrics but everyone loves it when I sing it.
