Dear Linda,

The recent NW Folklife Festival was totally wonderful, as always, but I must say, your concert was the very best thing I attended there! I didn't envy your soundman, the way we the audience kept drowning you out on all the choruses!

I have always had a fantasy of being able to sit down with you and get you to tell me all your stories. Having you here in the Mudcat Cafe may well be that dream coming true!

How long have you been at it and when and where did you get your start? Who were your teachers and what were your girlish dreams and how many have come true, how many have evaborated, and how many are you still working on?

Bless you for your love and courage. - Croney

PS- Your daughter Jen is something too! I am very happy for you.
