My folk baby is now 16, and won't admit in PeerCompany that she is actually a "FolkBaby". Starting when she was about 7-8, she would go to the nursing homes with me and dance. She tried to do Irish feis dancing, but having no lessons made it more improv. They loved it anyway, of course.

She still loves the folk/trad songs, and will sing them depending on Who is listening..........! She calls them Oldies to her friends who would be merciless if they knew they were folk. (Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, etc yuckosickocrap)

This is the kid who performed the Theme from Star Wars on stage, in utero. We sat right in front of the tympani........took several rehearsals for her to get it right!!

I am only allowed to cuddle her in times of Great Crisis right now, but that too will change, again someday.
