She came to our folk club in Lewes, East Sussex, Englan as guest way - way way back - early 1970s? She was with a bunch of others. Then I asked them to come to our BBC Radio Sussex station to record songs for our folk music programme. One (Denis?) was an expert of native American music and sent me some tapes. For some reason my main memory is of a trio of the six or so that were there singing a lovely harmony version of "Home In Pasadena" and calling themselves the California Humming Birds. We had a number of requests from listeners for that track to be repeated, so we did play it several times,
