Not sure what to say?

I was sorry to learn of jeans passing. I want to convey my condolences and express my heartfelt sympathy to her family, friends and relatives.

I believe my mom worked for Jean in Dobbs Ferry, NY. I remember that my mom thought the world of her, when she introduced us Jean sang a song for me. I recall her voice was powerful and surprising in a great way. I felt like I was transported back in time to the green mountains of long ago. What a wonderful blessing. I also love how good she was to my mom, I like to think they have met up in heaven.


I teach middle school science in Louisville. I play her Christmas carols for my students every year. What a talent.

SINGING FAMILY OF THE CUMBERLANDS is my all time favorite book [tied with JD Salinger's Nine Stories :)]

Much love always to you and your whole family.

I have just come across your music through hearing it on the radio today. It instantly struck a chord with me. RIP and best wishes to your family from Amanda in England.

Thank you for introducing me to the world of dulcimers and folk music. You will be truly missed.
