Dear Mrs Jean Ritchie, I didn't know that "kytrad" was you in person before Mr Art Thieme told me. It is really an honour. I do thank you for your reply. I know very well and treasure your recording of Barbara Allen, the first time I've heard it was many years ago, from one of your two Folkways lps on Child Ballads. Now I also have it on the Smithsonian CD. Thank you again and best wishes. Roberto
