Hello Barry - 

It was good to meet you a few weeks ago at the Missouri Folklore conference. You and Ray added so much to the gathering, it was good to meet you. 

You had mentioned you'd like a copy of this old LP from the Brandywine Festival, so here it is, a gift from the Ozarks. I happened to be able to go to that concert and hearing Joe Polite play as well as the Balfa Bros. Was a life-chaning experience that I've never forgotten. 

Also enclosed is a magazine for Ray.

Hope you all are enjoying some warm weather and get to come up to the Ozarks again soon - 

All good wishes, Sandy [chinese seal]
