Where is the "saddened" button Facebook was supposed to be working on? We will ALL miss that unique and incredible sound you have worked on and perfected together these past years.

Joanna Just "discovered" you lovely ladies listening to Harmonia--you are amazing. If you're interested in Eastern European singing, perhaps you'd also be interested in Finnish singing...If you haven't already heard of her, Ruth MacKenzie has a terrific album called, 'Kalevala, Dream of the Salmon Maiden,' which is a feminis...t interpretation of the epic. Some of her singing reminds me of what you've done with Bartok.
