Dink Roberts (according to Cecelia Conway).

Dink also sang on all of his pieces (even fiddle tunes) and he didn't seem to have names for them. Something didn't fit. Much later, I would realize that our cultural view didn't fit."

She's hard to catch! I've managed to chat with her on a couple of occasions.
