Martha Forsyth has to get her act together and say something intelligent on this page, but she's been spending her time learning Wiki trickies and isn't ready to do that yet.
Basically, a lot of her life focuses on Bulgaria, where she has spent many months recording and documenting "old songs from old ladies". For an introduction to her work, you can:'
- listen to some samples of her field recordings
- read about and explore her book on the life and songs of Linka Gergova
-
- (here is a particularly cool story)
- meet ZDRAVETS ("Boston's Friendly Neighborhood Bulgarian Band), and hear samples of their music
- see some of the beadwork that she learned in the small Bulgarian town Sarnitsa (Bulgarian: Сърница), at the northern end of the Dospat Dam in the western Rhodope mountains.
A more recent (starting August 2007) passion is HOOPING!

P.S. Re "participating in WikiProject Bulgaria"…I hope to participate more, so far it's been minimal!
[edit] Neat Tools, etc.
- Here is a neat tool that will show you a complete overview of what I've done on Wikipedia—not all that much, but it's nice to be able to look at it all in one place! You can use the tool to show your own (or any other user's) edits, by replacing my username (Martha_Forsyth) with a different user name. It takes a little while for the tool to assemble the information, patience is a virtue… (Added 16:57, 21 March 2008 (UTC))
- A tool to check what pages use an image.

[edit] Честита баба Марта!
and if you don't know what this is all about, go to Martenitsa. I'm a day late - but I don't think I'm a dollar short yet! -- Martha (talk) 20:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC), 02:57, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
