An important and much loved figure on the Houston music and arts scene since at least the 1960's. Carolyn was a folksinger, artist, film maker, teacher, radio personality, reviewer of music, film and art, active in the Orange Show. She suffered a stroke early in September, was hospitalized then released to hospice care. Her death occurred Sunday evening, September 16, 2018. She is survived by a sister, son, grandchild and former husband. She will be missed by her many friends and family to whom I send my heartfelt condolences. I met Carolyn during my years working on Project Apollo (mid-late 1960's). Our lives coincided for a few years, but we kept in touch over the years. During those years in Houston I heard her many times at Sand Mountain coffeehouse where many of the Houston and Texas folk and singer-songwriters performed, including the legendary Frank Davis and his Daddy Banjo, Don Sanders and others. We shared an interest in film - the 60's was a great era for new wave and other creative movements, she introduced me to "underground" film. We shared the weekend at the Woodstock festival. I got to meet Johnny Winter at Fillmore East - Carolyn being among his Austin (TX) comrades. At this time Johnny Winter had achieved "super" stardom - I had met him (a brief handshake and greeting) prior to this in Houston at the ACA studio when we had completed a session with Juke Boy Bonner for Blues Unlimited, and Winter was arriving for his session. I have many wonderful memories of Carolyn which cheer me in this time of sadness. Dear friend, rest in peace. Thomas. |

Thomas gave me a nudge and so I have added Carolyn to the "In Memoriam" thread. She is certainly still remembered and loved by many people. RIP Peter |
