Subject: RE: Rearing a Folk-Singer
The kicking along to accordions whilst pregnant doesn't necessarily suggest morris dancing as a choice... Before birth, Bratling would bounce around a lot during sessions and watching her now, I know why... she was trying to get her fingers in her ears!

She does however, show signs of wanting to sing and sing in public (possible honorable mention as the youngest participant in the recent World Record Singaround at Leigh), and has expressed a desire to learn several of the songs I do.... although 16 stones doesn't have the same effect when done by a 6 yr old!

Gentle encouragement, do not force. Hard bones can be boiled to make a good sustaining broth and the remains can become interesting jewellery, paperweights, ancient artefacts.
