Thread Name: Is kytrad okay? Jean Ritchie UPDATE 30 Jan.2010
Subject: RE: Is kytrad okay? Jean Ritchie hospitalized
Prayers from New Zealand for a full and speedy recovery.

My wife is an avid dulcimer player and has some of Jeans books. Listening to my wife play and reading Jean's books ignited my interest in the dulcimer. As a result of reading her books I now build dulcimers and am slowly but surely learning to play.

Jean is so much more than a national US treasure, indeed to dulcimer players around the world she is a treasure and their inspiration.

My thoughts and prayers are with Jean and all her family.
