Dave (and Cathy, too): I'm so pleased to find that you've joined the Mudcat family, although this, the first post I've seen from you, has got to be the saddest I ever hope to see. She was in Boonville this year, wasn't she, ainging and telling stories at your Big Muddy Festival? She performed at the Dulcimer Festival in Morris, IL, too, although between each of her workshops she had to take a rest in her car. Her spirit never failed her, but she was very quickly fatigued. She was an inspiration to us all.
