The beauty of Gerry Armstrong was not only her voice, but her attitude, that the song was more important than the singer. She did everything possible to foster folk music in the Chicago area, while most of the time staying out of the spotlight. Gerry was one of the first performers on WFMT's "The Midnight Special" when it was a live program hosted by Mike Nichols, and she guest hosted many times after Norm Pellegrini took over. My great regret is that Gerry did not do more solo recording.
