It was so cold and in Feb. of 2009, and if I knew it was near where Seeger lived, I would have gone. Too late now. The reading was for an art show in honor of Aung San Suu Kyi. I asked for Skype, but it had to be done by phone instead. Later, organizers hand delivered the booklet to her, and sent around her picture. I am really sad about all the bad press she is getting now. Remember, the public called her Ahmay Suu (Mother Suu). Kyi May Kaung Words Sounds and Images
