Thread Name: Obit: Fred Holstein ! (January 2004)
Subject: Obit: Fred Holstein
Just heard the news that we lost Fred Holstein, Chicago's balladeer, who died in surgery last night. He was a Chicago "fixture"...well known in the folk community there and ran Holstein's folk club for many years.
It was a great place.
He will be sorely missed. He delighted audiences with his warm and personable manner. I remember him singing "Here's To All The Good People".
So appropriate because he certainly was "good people" himself.
Rest well, Fred.
