Mary ... As you and I have discussed many times, the Pacific Northwest is a hot bed of rich folk material, old and new. I'm simply amazed at the amount of new and rich material that is happening now. And as far as I'm concerned ... YOU and Linda Allen started it. I now include seveal of YOUR songs in my concerts.

Archives are all about our heritage ... where we came from ... who proceeded us ... what and when and where they sang, and what songs they sang. Many years from now, writers, historians, researchers can go to these collections amd hear of our issues. It's all living history and we have an obligation, while we're still living, to document it. bob
