1. what is your age range? 50-52

2. gender? F

3. Do you have a favorite color? Yes. I wear way too much black and dark green. I'm branching out to the jewel tones, everything except bright orange.

4. favorite authors/ type of book? Too many to name. I'm revisiting classics--Sinclair Lewis, John Steinbeck, but I already own the ones I want to read.

5. what books have you really been wanting? I like regional folk music studies to add to my collection inherited from Dad. Anyone have an extra set of Child you can ship, I'll happily take it off your hands!

6. what type of music do you like? Traditional, older folk music (as mentioned in the book question). A wide range, with a focus on classical and folk.

7. what cds have you really been wanting? Reissues of McCurdy, but for this Mudcat event, what I really PREFER is copies of YOUR music or what influences you.

8. What movies (vhs is in the price range) have you been wanting? None in particular

9. what is your t-shirt size? Medium, or large if it is 100% cotton

10. do you collect anything? if so, what? Too many things!

11. what are some of your other hobbies? Gardening, sewing, cooking, primitive woodworking, refinishing, and upholstery projects.

12. do you prefer gold-tone or silver-tone jewelry? I don't do the "tone" stuff--too many reactions to base metal. I'm okay with sterling silver.

13. please include anything else you feel is important that would help your secret santa know what you would like. As packrats, there is little that this household really needs. I have lots of art, but we can always use more. If you are an artist and have something of yours that you can ship safely that we can frame and put up (or set out on display) or if you perform or are (like me) one of those folks associated with another performer, I'd really like to have a sample of that music.
