I interviewed her once in about 1968.  There was a time even before that
when she was the super-dependable freelance singer in the L.A. area.  I
still have a wonderful lp album of her singing Ives songs, complete with
her hand-written notes on the back!

She was a great sight-reader, and among her earlier ventures she is to be
found on Robert Craft's 4-record set of Webern.  I still have that too!
