Dear Martin,
Thank you for your reply! It is indeed good to hear from you. There
are a number of sites listing her death as 1996. Your conversation
with Christopher is reassuring. I am wondering, are there any others
on this list, particularly in the UK, who have knowledge about her? I
certainly hope she is still among the living. If she is still with
us, is she still active in music?

Dear Ed,
This is really strange. Her birth date is given as 1933, when I would
have thought it was more like 1953. When I last saw Chris Wilson
(about a year ago) I remember - I hope correctly - that I asked how she
was doing (yes they were married) and he said fine. So I don't
understand how she can possibly have died in 1996 either.
Best wishes,
Martin

Dear Collective wisdom,
I am wondering if anyone knows the fate or whereabouts of
Shirley
Rumsey. She made a number of beautiful recordings on the
Naxos label
in the 1990's, and worked with Christopher Wilson - it is my
understanding they were married.
I was listening to her "Music of the Spanish Renaissance", and
did an
search about her, and the Wikipedia page devoted to her gives
her birth
and death years of 1933 to 1996. From what I could see on
photos, she
does not appear to be in her 60's when the photo was taken in
the 90's.
I also saw a chat page (I lost the link, sorry) to where
someone was
questioning if those birth/death years were indeed one and the
same as
our lutenist/singer Shirley Rumsey. The question put forth
was not
answered.
Does anyone know if she has indeed passed away, or is still
living?
Thanks in advance,
ed
