GUEST,matt milton	Review: Connie Converse (5)	RE: Review: Connie Converse	19 Oct 20
I love Connie Converse. She was a unique songwriter, clearly influenced by the folk tradition but with a modernist poet's detachment and cool. I think of her as a cross between Peggy Seeger and Frank O'Hara. You couldn't make her up: her music sounds like something you'd expect to hear from the 60s or 70s counterculture but I think she stopped writing songs in 1961. All those songs were written in the 1950s. She was really was an anomaly. A feminist icon. I sing her song 'We Lived Alone' and one or two folk singers sing her stuff. If you haven't heard her before: https://connieconverse.bandcamp.com/album/how-sad-how-lovely
