Jean Richie has a fairly large following.not just in Kentucky. she has performed here in NY on more than one occation. i attendes one of her NY appearences, at the Museum of Natural History. i found, as i watch her and listened to her, a sort of tunnel vision developed.. its was if my ears were crowding out the space in the brain used for vision.. by the end of the concert, my vision was reduced to almost a pin prick image, and my body tingled as if electricfied, and every sound was clear and pure..

she stopped singing, the lights came on, and i was restored to 'normal' (well normal for me)

i don't often become lost in music.. but that night, with Jean Richie, i did.
