[Thor Joachim Haga]

Aaaaw, that’s a bummer! We had reached a point now, with an age so crazy high, that I thought she’d go on to record heights.

But what an amazing life she’s led. Born just 6 years after the Titanic sank and in the last year of World War I. And then all the way up to 2026. That’s stunning to think about. As I said earlier in this thread, I checked out a couple of her albums fairly recently – they were more hardcore folk music than I had expected (and less exotica), but it made me curious about her two scores, at least. Amazingly, she wasn’t only the oldest “celebrity” alive, but also the oldest with a film music connection, in case that matters for peculiar people like us. I didn’t know that she had played violin on DR. ZHIVAGO, which her obituary above says.
