Jean Ritchie's wonderful book

On Strum's suggestion I bought Jean's book Singing Family of the Cumberlands. I'm 1/2 way through it and enjoying it so much. She includes many of the songs she learned as a child (or sometimes created) including the musical notation. It is beautifully written. Jean's writing transports you back to the hills of the Cumberlands and you get a real sense of the feel of life in that part of Appalachia. I'd highly recommend this to ANYONE interested in Jean Ritchie and her music. Amazing history.
