Thanks for the very entertaining samples of your songs and talks, Sid. Thanks to Mudcat and my UK friends who've sent me stuff, I think I caught most of it, though if I listen a few more times, I am sure I'll get more. I'd still have to ask the meaning of some of the words, though. Really fun to hear and read about. I hope the Fest is a big success.

I think it is so important to preserve dialects. There are not many in Western Colorado who sound like natives as my mom and dad and siblings did/do. I lost some of it while away, but am gaining it back.

Thanks, again,
