A Farewell(to the Cowgirl with the Pigtails)-My mother was endlessly loving and supportive of my brother and I. She encouraged me to 'just stick with it' when I was struggling to make something, anything, close to music emerge from my banjo. She and my dad Chuck were instrumental in my success. She passed away suddenly, unexpectedly, September 9, 2015, the same day I was nominated as Instrumental Solo Artist of the year by the Canadian Folk Music Association. I'm sure she would have appreciated the O. Henry-ness of it all. I love you Zana.

I have listened to bluegrass and old-timey style banjo music for many years. Nora Brown has the most poetic interpretation of these styles that I have heard so far. She is the John Fahey of banjo (but also with striking vocals). brit_b
