Bill D,

Thanks so much for the sad news! And thanks for the muical insights on the family. Sometimes it amazes me that we must be so explicit in our rehashing the history we all have known for years, but HOW ELSE will the young know about the wonders of the tradition and the amazing expertise of those informants that sang for those collecting our music in the earlier part of this century? I can feel your heartfelt emotions in your tribute here to Helen Carter! MANY may listen to the Carter Family just on the strength of your words. Again, thanks!
