Obit threads are becoming far too numerous on Mudcat these days. Now we have the loss of another wonderful artist and human being to mourn. Back in the early 1960's Mike Seeger made a complimentary remark about my singing. I didn't hear it but it was reported to me, and coming as it did during a period of depression and loss of confidence it gave my morale a great boost. Downturns of that kind have plagued my life, and still do, but now when one occurs I have the memory of his remark to lift my spirits. I wish I could have met him personally to tell him of my appreciation. But now he is gone, and along with so many others my only glad feeling is that he was able to leave us peacefully and without pain. Goodbye and thank you Mr Seeger,you were of the True Vine. Rest in Peace. From your grateful admirer, Roy Harris.
