size=2>Yeah, that occured to me, too. If they'd run the entire photo, it
would've been more obvious, especially if they had included the caption that
went with it! <SPAN class=781261920-29122007><FONT
face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=2>I thought they were going to do a
"Contributors" page, with larger shots and short
blurbs.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

front of a piano. The caption read something like "Annie Grieshop has been
playing backup for Mary Sand's fiddling at barndances for nearly two decades,
but this is their first venture into collaborative writing." In any case,
I'm the grey-haired one (on the left).... </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

publication, so it's a big deal. She's a good fiddler,
too!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
