They came to Colorado when Flora was quite young, in a covered wagon. She was born in 1878, so I would guess the time she is speaking of was about 1882 or so; she started school at six, so I think it had to be before that.

A couple of years ago, I think we had a thread either on that or we got off on it: people telling others whether they were capable of making music or not. Bunch of crap, imo, glad you found your voice, Mortee; they obviously didn't know what they were talking about!
