Thread Name: Obit: Lionel Kilberg (Aug 2008)
Subject: Obit: Lionel Kilberg
I received this note from Laura Munzer, a member of Strings & Sings:

I am sorry to have to tell you that Lionel Kilberg died today, after a long illness. Funeral arrangements will be private, though there may be a memorial service at some point. For now, sing a song, and think of Lionel!

Lionel was one of the mainstays of the 50s and 60s NY folk scene, and produced Kate Wolf's first album.   He wrote thousands of songs, some better than others.   You might want to listen to some of them here: Lionel Kilberg    So Many Farewells seems sadly appropriate.

He will surely be missed!
