I've often wondered if Sandy (and Caroline and Lee) ever fully appreciated the profound effect they had (sorry, have) on so many lives by introducing so many of us to this music with the "records edged in black", and being helpful and welcoming to any one, regardless of knowledge or sophistication, who had an interest. I won't say anything as insipid as "folk music saved my life" ('though I'm sore tempted...), but it sure made it worthwhile, and Sandy has to take much of the credit. Surely my proudest singing moments were in Sandy's "Hobo Songs" workshops at NOMAD. Go to sleep, you weary hobo.
