Jon, I agree. I can't speak to someone I don't know personally at such a private time as this. It's interesting how so many people touch our lives in many ways that we don't even realize until later. And in retrospect we can see many different influences and meetings throughout our lives, many times not even realizing where the influence originated.Quoting Alice:
The video, Mountain Born - The Jean Ritchie Story, is available at her website. It's a very interesting documentary, with footage of Tommy Makem talking about being a teenager when Jean Ritchie came to make recordings at his mother's house.
