Wonderful little story and I expect we'll have lots more of these cottage industry, for-love-of-art-commercially-unsuccessful-hidden-in-history stories now that recording technology is reaching consumer-level. The material by Connie seems very strong and I look forward to listening to some more - kind of reminds me of Everlast's latest album, The Life Acoustic.
I can really dig how tech might be a great way to preserve non-public talent, rather than taking somebody with extremely limited musical talent and forcing them on the public (i.e. Fetty Wap).

I imagine that much of this lost-to-time music is recorded on deteriorating tapes which might only be able to be played back a few times. Consumer equipment is getting a lot better but unique recordings deserve professional archival equipment and care.
