During the hectic months when I was promoting for songs to be included in the Mudcat CDs, I of course solicited Jean's permission to include some of her songs. Her charm and character radiated in her response--she would only allow one of hers, because there were so many others, especially rising young singers, who needed to be included, but she would only agree if I also included something from Sandy Paton, Art Thieme, and Margaret MacArthur. In that single decision she greatly improved the final result of the Mudcat CD collection., and I learned wonderful new songs from all three. Jean's "Deep Shady Grove" was the song she chose to include, a classic of her pure Kentucky voice.
