Subject: RE: Obit: diane easby [borchester echo From: The Sandman Date: 21 Aug 13 - 02:13 PM Life is very short. It is very easy to get a completely wrong impression of someone from internet discussion forums.Icooresponede with Diane a lot by e mail and I remember her from her time at Cecil Sharp House, she was vivacious , witty, knowledgeable and humourous, she was not perfect, who is?, but I will miss her a lot. |

Subject: RE: Obit: diane easby [borchester echo From: Lizzie Cornish 1 Date: 21 Aug 13 - 02:13 PM Does anyone know if her cats are being cared for? She won't rest in peace unless they are. We need to find out. God, watch out! She'll give you a hard time, but you will come to love her, as we all did...yes, even her Sidmouth Seagull cared about her and I've missed her a lot these past years, for we danced a Merry Dance together... I know her cats meant all to her and when she was ill a while back, it was worrying her so much that no-one was caring for them. Does anyone know what's happened to them? I'll miss you, kid, but one day I'll be up there too and then, we can start arguing all over again.. xxx |

Subject: RE: Obit: diane easby [borchester echo From: Lonesome EJ Date: 21 Aug 13 - 01:57 PM Intelligent, abrasive, opinionated, knowledgeable, sarcastic, and a Star of what I used to call the British Folk Wars here on the Mudcat. Didn't know her, but she gave as well as she got in every battle. In a world of people who suffer in silence, it was damnably refreshing to witness one who refused to keep her mouth shut and wouldn't back down. Rest in in Peace seems like an alien concept when I think of the Countess. I hope there is some sort of English Traditional Music Valhalla where Ms Easby can brawl to her heart's content, sleep the deep sleep of the innocent, and rise to fight again. |

Subject: RE: Obit: diane easby [borchester echo From: George Papavgeris Date: 21 Aug 13 - 01:47 PM I always loved the way she spoke her mind. She also gave me one of my favourite self-descriptions: snigger-songwriter. I was wondering only the other day why she'd gone quiet, having missed her wit and her fire. May your fiddle raise hell, Countess! RIP |

Subject: RE: Obit: diane easby [borchester echo From: Backwoodsman Date: 21 Aug 13 - 01:43 PM She certainly didn't suffer me, although a fool I absolutely am not! That aside, her knowledge of music was encyclopaedic, and she defended the music she loved with every fibre. Diane had a wonderful grasp of vocabulary, and it was always a joy to read her posts (even when she 'went off on one'!). A real character, and a sad loss. RIP Diane. |

Subject: RE: Obit: diane easby [borchester echo From: Richard Bridge Date: 21 Aug 13 - 01:34 PM That is a shame. She was always well informed, and did not suffer fools at all, much less gladly. |
