What a life you have! It's so nice that you can share this experience. I was there in that room on the foam mats with you. Those sounds are terrifyingly beautiful! Love these (and many other) pieces of your writing, "...when you find the quiet, it's shocking." - about the wind, "...someone calling your name..." - "...music, just out of reach." I listened to other recordings while I was there at Okehdokee Records - "Nothin' Lastin' and the Jean Redpath interview. How lucky you are that you talked to her before she died. One of my most favorite songs ever is her "Will You No Come Back Again" - from the Lady Naime Collection - so simple and plaintive.
