i really liked the lady of shallot. a woman at one point sang it; we listened to it once back in high school. i'd recommend it, but, oh i can't remember her name. can anyone help me out? who sang lady of shallot?

I looked it up and found that a woman named Loreena McKennitt had sung it.

hey, just a quick note on a GREAT book of poetry... it's called "The Painted Bed" by Donald Hall. really good stuff. a little sad and sweet. about loss and love. (by the way... Loreena McKennit is amazing, she's in my cd player right now. she's been a fav of mine for ages!)
