On voice - I found Darsie Bowden's challenge of the concept very useful and for me persuasive since I resist the notion when it implies the discovery of something essential in the self. The old memory problem - old having more than one reference here - is getting in the way of details but the title is Mythology of Voice. Our SFU library doesn't have a copy but I do, if you should want to look at it, Rick. Sorry I'm going to miss the discussion and seeing all of you who will be there for the treats of Halifax, the feasts of talk and thinking, and the laughter and music of Talent Night. I will be at a ball of a different kind - we long ago committed to the annual Thistle Ball - a night of Scottish country dancing complete with kilts and floor length gowns. Next year!
