Sigh! Looking up some info on Mediaeval Baebes cd, The Rose for a friend and I see that my sleeve notes are signed by some of the members of the group.

Then remembered the concert at Joust Berkeley Castle summer 2004. Andie was with me. She had introduced me to their music some 2 or 3 years prior.

At this juncture Andie was so thin and ill. But she asked some of the girls during the signing "how does one get to be a Baebe?" One of them said, "you have to drink a potion from my slipper" or some such silliness.

I just wanted Andie to be as healthy as those young women. Had she been feeling better at the time, no doubt she would have struck up conversation with one or more as they were wondering about the grounds between concerts. As it was she sat under a tree most of the day and slept.
