Thread Name: Is kytrad okay? Jean Ritchie UPDATE 30 Jan.2010
Subject: RE: Is kytrad okay? Jean Ritchie hospitalized
Like many people I have been following this tread and sending good thoughts to all those concerned, but one of life's coincidences brought Jean even closer to my mind today.

I was doing some post Christmas tidying up and decided to go through my collection of old 78 rpm records. Imagine my surprise when I unearthed an "His Master's Voice" recording of Jean singing "Black-eyed Susan", "Going to Boston" and "Loving Hannah". The record states that it was recorded under the auspices of the English Folk Dance and Song Society. What made the coincidence was that the postman had just delivered my copy of Jean's Kentucky Christmas. There was a bonus tape in the package (thanks!) and on the tape was...."Going to Boston".

Sort of full circle really!

Best wishes,

Peter
