Thanks for refreshing. Fascinating to read about one of my longtime heroes--Well, actually several of them. I found the book, Lonesome Traveler, on the sale table at a local bookstore for $1, and felt like I had uncovered buried treasure. It is a treasure, and better, because I still have the book and read and reread it.
My sister bought her first Holly Near album because Holly wrote about Ronnie Gilbert in her notes on the back of the album, that Ronnie was a woman who really knew how to sing. Later she said she hadn't even known when she wrote that that Gilbert was still alive.
Every voice in every incarnation was wonderful, I never heard them in person--Art Thieme, you should brag!--but I watch the video "Wasn't That a Time" over and over. Someone taped it for me before I even had a VCR.
