Come to think of it,vacuuming is a great thing to sing to---would sound better than the Scottish bagpipes (but not the Irish pipes). A great drone!! (Some might say it sucks though!) SMILE!

Dan Keding has told me that his various trips to England as well as Ireland have been exhilerating precisely because so many young folks are becoming wonderful traditional devotees there! Norma Waterson's daughter (sorry, can't recall her name) is a wonder I hear. It's quite thrilling to see young folks looking to the best parts of the past to find, music and values. Isn't happening here very much! A bit sad, but O.K.! That's life. Wait a bit and it'll change. Like the story about how the Illinois weather changes all the time. A fellow plowing with his prize bulls. One of 'em died of heatstroke and, while he was skinning it, the other one froze to death!

Oh---why was he plowing with his prize bulls?? He didn't want 'em to think life was all romance!
