    Just received from the British BMG Federation Committee:

    That was very nice. I miss her presence here.

    I actually booked her to a concert in Ohio in spring 2005. Unfortunate circumstances forced cancellation.

    She was not only a fine musician but an outstanding teacher and composer and publisher of mandolin instruction books. I see now why folks have such respect for her. I'm gonna check out more of her recordings. Thanks for the nice tribute.
