Marion is a delight. Good singer, good songs, good fiddle and guitar work, and just a neat person!

I've got to admire the spirit of someone who picks up their guitar and fiddle and hits the road. Gutsy. And a very "Fifties / Sixties" thing to do. I met a lot of itinerant singers during those decades, traveling around the country, meeting people, swapping songs, and often regaling folks with tales of their wild adventures on the road. Two that come to mind immediately are Guy Carawan and, all the way from England, Roy Guest. And a few dozen I never heard about again. I can't remember any women doing the "on the road" thing back then, but times have changed.

Too bad you're not going to be around longer, because I would like to get to know you better and hear you sing and play more. Anyway, good luck and much joy on your journey.

Did you get a chance to sample Mehitabel's chocolate pie? Wow!
