Subject: RE: Let's Talk Bellamy
Hi Daphne. I'm hoping that Jeri might see this, she usually sees Jeff Warner at the Fri night sessions up this way & Jeff has been assoc. with the Bellamy's for some time. This aside I'd like to say it's nice to see you & if you don't mind welcome you to the rest of the family. Some of you NYC people may Daphne & some others may have seen her or heard her at the getaway. She was kind enought to assist us (myself, David, & Bonny along with Ken) at the shanty workshop & was instrumental in us all pulling off "Come Down You Roses". I first met Daphne a few years ago at Mystic she was with her younger sister & mother (as the group the Windlasses, you may want to check out their CD) & they were there to join in the fun. The next year they were preforming there. We had some threads awhile back aout todays youth & folk music, well Daphne (sorry, I won't say how young) has been singing with her family & since moving to NYC has been tied up with those she mentioned above along with being taken under the wing by the Johnson Girls, the NexTradition, the New York Packet, the shantymen at Mystic & the few times we (Finn & Haddie) get the chance/pleasure to sing with her. You all be nice to her now & give her a hand, you'll be hearing a lot of great stuff from her. My pleasure. Barry
