Judy Henske, a Distinctive Voice on the Folk Scene, Dies at 85
Nancy saw Judy perform in the late 60’s/early 70’s and pretty much forgot about her. I remembered a song – Salvation Army Song {link: YouTube}– I looked it up on YouTube, and brought it to Nancy on my iPad. As we watched it she laughed and cried as she remembered the song.
