Having just returned from another fine week at Augusta Heritage's "Vocal Week", where I heard many fine ballads being sung, I am glad to see that this thread is still alive and well. One of the exciting things that I learned at Augusta is that Sheila Kay Adams has taken on six apprentice singers and is teaching them her ballad traditions. I would especially mention Judy Rhodes, who was traveling with her. I believe that the two of them were also at Pinewoods.
