Wish I could make it. Spaw |

She also mentioned that she'll turn 78 in December and made a couple references to the rocking chair. As much as I'd like to believe she'll go on forever, she won't. The Cleveland concert is a must if you can make it. (Spaw: She put on a clinic in the traditional style of dulcimer playing you've written about a few times. So simple, so beautiful). |

Animaterra -- I, too, had a chance to be in a Christmas Revels performance with Jean here in D.C. Her singing was as luminously beautiful as ever. She and husband George were in D.C. for a Folklore Society concert earlier this year and that, too, was a treat. Don't miss this one, you lucky Ohioans! |

She is an embodiment of the mountain culture of our country and a true treasure. She is also a highly intelligent individual who presents traditional American folk music in a context that is meaningful, fun and tasteful manner and her concerts are essential listening to all lovers of this kind of music. There are few like Jean today. I am so grateful for her. Frank |
