Subject: RE: Lori Holland-'Didn't I Dance' recording rights
It's a beautiful song. My recollection is that Lori wrote it as a tribute to Lil Appel, a woman who ran a marvelous "sing" at her home in Valley Cottage, NY.   Friday night's at Lil's was a tradition in our area and many musicians enjoyed an evening of music in her living room.   These were the days before anyone ever heard of house concerts.

Lil passed away a number of years ago, but her spirit is still felt, and there are people who continue to host sings.

I have Lori's number somewhere. If you can't find her, give me a shout!

Thank's for reminding me of this beautiful song.   I look forward to hearing your version of it Arnie!
