Subject: RE: Singers and songs which stunned me .
Art, we won't mention the fish jokes. Another song and singer that stunned me occasion was when Louis Killen came with us to a singing/playing session at the Malone's house in Wilmette one of the years he was playing Fox Valley. He'd asked me to play an arrangement Kate Early and I had worked up of Salisbury Plain, because he wasn't quite sure he approved of the "Flamenco guitar riff" I did between a couple of the verses.

After I played that, and got his approval, I asked him if he could sing me "The Flying Cloud," which he did. Sure quieted the room down fast. I think it may have been one of the last times I saw Gerri Armstrong, as she was there, too.
