  1. How do I write a letter to her to let her know how much her music and life story has meant to me. She is truly a legend in pop/folk music and is a true survivor given what she has been through.

  2. I rediscovered The Seekers a few weeks ago, and I can’t stop playing their music. I love Judith Durham’s voice. To me it’s the most pure of any I’ve heard. I remember listening to them with my then girl friend back in the ’60’s when I was in the Air Force. The Carnival is Over, in particular sends chills down my back.
