Wow, jets, that sounds like fun! Are you guys based in Maine? Lots of slate in Monson, yes? Are the quarries still active there? Andy, do you know if Angelyn Tytot (sorry, don't know how to make an umlaut appear on the computer) has a CD? Sounds interesting. Beer-talk yoik. . . very funny! And funny what sticks in our minds. May I depart from Finland for a moment and ask if anyone has ever heard this old recording of Anna Thorhallsdottir singing Icelandic folk songs? The songs are incredible; stark, eerie, sometimes incredibly short and simple, with the "plot" delivered in a distilled four sentences or so. . . I think she was a classical singer, and the recording was made when she was older, so I don't know if the warbling quality of her voice is typical of the traditional performance of Icelandic folk or not. Anyone??? Margaret
