At Bude FF this last weekend, on the Saturday at the storytell there was a small group of us - smaller than I would have liked really, but it was special because of that, as there were hardly any takers, we fell to talking of strange things, Anne Lister (tabster) told a story in song, about one of the women she met at her prison workshops and it was incredibly moving, we then were treated to a wonderful mermaid story from Alan Woolard's other half, who embarassingly my brain has erased the name of. Half the people in the room were moved to tears. I then sang my mermaid song - unaccompanied, half way through, I was delighted to find myself being accompanied by Anne Lister on guitar. When I opened my eyes, however, Anne's guitar was on the floor beside her. Cats (Kathy Wallis) also heard guitar music whilst I sang - I dont know what it was nor do I have any explaination, but it was a strange experience. Anne - did you hear it? I never got the chance to discuss it with you.
Cheers, Lucy
