I'm wairkin' thro' a hantle o' assigned list'nin' richt noo, frae a friend o' mine in Maine. We'll be jynin' up i' August for a month-lang ceilidh, an' I've been chargit wi' th' task o' lairnin' "high pairts" for ev'ry song on th' Watersons' tapes she sent, as weel as some richt fine bits frae a recordin' o' Janet Russell an' Christine Kidd. (Dinnae ken th' name o' that last ane, my friend didnae hae th' grace tae wricht oot th' titles o' ev'rythin' she sent.) The "Silly Sisters" albums frae Maddy Prior & June Tabor are anither pairt o' my assigned listenin' (can't complain). Any Mudcatters gang tae be aroond Pownal, Maine, in August? It micht be a strange ceilidh, but it'll be a guid ane!
