Good people,
I just spent the last 3 hours writing out my involvement with Folk Legacy and Sandy and Caroline and Lee happened. It was 50 years long and it was grand to see it put there for you all. But (isn't there always a but?) Mudcat was apparently down or something for the hour in which I was trying to send it to this thread. It felt wonderful to say it all and the tell how much I love these people and what their querencia meant to me through the years. Finding Folk Legacy and knowing Sandy was so damn much a huge part of what I am today; it was truly like coming home to have Sandy ask me to record for him.
I did try to post it, pull it back, post it over and over--and then--------it was gone -- into cyberspace somewhere.

Just know I loved this man, and miss him terribly.   

Love to all,

Art
