In recent
years, I have written articles and reviews of other
people's recordings. Most have been published
in the Canadian Folk Music magazine published by the
Canadian Society
for Traditional Music. If you would like
to read them, I have PDF versions of them here.

Ballad Pilgrimage
Copyright November 2012
I wrote this after taking a holiday to England and
visiting Lincoln. The article links the Child Ballad,
Hugh and the Jew's Daughter to the history of Lincoln to my
own spiritual feelings regarding ballads.

Coming back through
ballads
Copyright January 31, 2012
I wrote this
about my performance comeback after a two year sabbatical
following the death of my husband, Steve Goff. I had
found it difficult to recapture my desire to sing or
perform, but when I planned a concert for the Yellowknife
Storytelling Festival, I found myself pulled into the magic
and power of ballads again. The idea was to present 5
versions of the same ballad all in one performance.

Rosaleen
Gregory, Serpent's Knee
This
CD was a treat. I've performed with Rosaleen on a
few occasions, and she did a wonderful review of one of
my own CDs. Click on the CD image to see her
