Billie was a founder of the Music For Robin Concert Series, the Conflict Calendar, and much, much more.She was a great help to me when I was working on concerts for the Folk Song Society of Greater Boston(FSSGB) in the eighties. For further information see the In Memoriam section on the FSSGB website. I'd do a blue clicky if I knew how. Anybody else out there remember Billie? |

I've added Billie to our Memorial thread as well. Best wishes, Peter |

I don't know why this sad news hadn't reached me sooner. These days I'm up in the wilds of New Hampshire where there are (or were) more politicians than people. Regards, Elmore |
