Just google for "Licorice McKechnie alive". |

13 Jan 26 - 03:42 PM (#4234270) Subject: RE: Incredible String Band's missing member From: Helen Thanks Reinhard, I did a quick search for news but found nothing. Thanks to your hint I found this: Internewscast article The Untold Story of Licorice McKechnie: Unraveling the Mystery of the Enigmatic Music Icon I have wondered, every now and then, about what happened to her especially hearing about serial killers being caught in the US. I always thought that was the most likely scenario. |

14 Jan 26 - 06:45 AM (#4234295) Subject: RE: Incredible String Band's missing member From: Paul Burke Perhaps a more accessible link. ISB were one of the stages by which I moved from rock music, which I often found too violent and aggressive, to folk. The next step was Fairport Convention. Then Martin Carthy and Shearwater, so so much for the violence. |

14 Jan 26 - 11:26 AM (#4234322) Subject: RE: Incredible String Band's missing member From: Helen Thanks for the link, Paul. It is the same article as the Internewscast link I posted because I couldn't access the original Daily Mail article. Just curious, is the article accessible on the link I posted? |

14 Jan 26 - 03:51 PM (#4234339) Subject: RE: Incredible String Band's missing member From: Reinhard Well that's what the tabloid press considers "investigative "journalism - solving an alleged mystery by hunting up and bothering someone who just wants to be left alone and in peace. |

14 Jan 26 - 04:09 PM (#4234340) Subject: RE: Incredible String Band's missing member From: DaveRo My thought too. |

14 Jan 26 - 04:56 PM (#4234343) Subject: RE: Incredible String Band's missing member From: Helen I agree. And also, is it really Licorice or is it just some poor old ordinary lady being bothered by the media because it will draw in an audience? I haven't seen any other media outlets picking up the story so it could just be knitted out of old fluff to create a short term sensational news item. Excuse my cynicism, please. |
