minstrel: Re: Love going to sea / Blackbird

[Corrie Bergeron]

I remember Therese well from RenFair.  It's hard to miss a statuesque
redhead with a seven-foot harp!  I've got a Wyndwyre tape somewhere in the
boxes, I think.  I recall seeing her with the group at RenFair, I think,
though she mostly played solo as I recall.  Very nice lady, and a wonderful
musician!  Thanks for the link!

I first heard this tune from Wyndnwyre in Houston, TX.  It's on their 1993
release "About Tyme".  The harper in the group is Therese Honey, who is an
SCA
Laurel, although she is no longer active.  See www.theresehoney.com for more
info about her, Wyndnwyre, and orderring CDs if you want them.

Enjoy!
