I first heard Hedy West on the Vanguard release-New Folks back in the early 1960's. The Greenbriar Boys were also on that record. I'll always remember Ms. West singing... 'I had a noton, not working this mornin'...wind so cold, Wwind so cold...'

Met and heard Sheila Kay Adams at a writer's conference in Greeneville, Tennessee last September. Sheila Kay's a wonderful storyteller and singer of the old pure southern appalachian ballads. Frails pretty, too.

Glad to hear Hedy West is well.
