Sheesh. Wotta load.
Send her on by.
She can meet a person who actually touched the man that recorded Hurt 
for OKeh!
Yow!
I'll even play her my copy of "Yes! We Have No Bananas."
Zow!

“That afternoon, sitting upright on Heneghan's couch, I was playing it
real cool. But fifty seconds into 'Big Leg Blues' – right around the
time John Hurt coos 'I asked you, baby, to come and hold my head' in his
soft honeyed voice– I felt like every single one of my internal organs
had liquefied and was bubbling up into my esophagus. Even now, I am not
sure there's a way to accurately recount the experience without
sounding dumb and hammy. I wanted to curl up inside that record; I wanted
to inhabit it. Then I wanted it to inhabit me. I wanted to crack it into
bits and use them as bones. I wanted it to keep playing forever, from
somewhere deep inside my skull. That is how it often begins for
collectors: with a feeling that music is suddenly opening up to you. That
you're getting closer to it -- the blues feeling –than you've ever
gotten before.”
