I'm listening to a CD by Judy Cook right now. It sure is grand, and rare these days, to hear someone who knows and sings folk songs. Judy can rest assured that she has nothing at all to do with the sad title of this thread. She is doing the exact opposite. Judy is "buying into" folk music. I am heartened by her endeavors.

Listen to her sing W. N. Allen's century-old, vivid, and mesmerizing Wisconsin lumberwoods ballad titled "On The Banks Of The Little Eau Pleine" --- Even now, in 2006, the process continues forward for all intent on finding it to hear when, the cream, it rises!!

Sincerely,

Art Thieme
