First, a big thank you and mutual admiration to Art! I do love singing unaccompanied and hearing unaccompanied singing. And I am finding more and more folks who do, much to my delight.

Mick & Jeri, I feel sure the woman you are thinking of is my friend Linda Rice-Johnston. She's a member of FSGW and sings Scottish songs and ballads unaccompanied in Scots-Gaelic as well as English in a beautiful, clear, high, fluidly-ornamented style. By contrast my "ornaments" are more subtle and my ability to sing in Scots dialect/accent is non-existant.

I haven't asked if she'll be at the Getaway this year, but Dennis & I will be there. We'll just be getting back from the Midwest.

Cheers, Judy Cook
