Thread Name: Obit: Gerry Armstrong--very sad news (29 Aug 99)
Subject: RE: Gerry Armstrong--very sad news
Very sad news, indeed. We came to know her bravery and strength later and her music earlier. The echoes of George and Gerry's harmonies live deep inside our hearts, and we have many times over the years conjured them up when we sang "Sundown" or "Rackensack," or "Lord Bateman," "The Waters of Tyne." And other times we find another song of our own search, sing it and find George and Gerry there, too. And a tenacious love for and deep understanding of traditional music, as it continues to live and breathe, we remember them for that, too. Bless her, bless them both.
