Greetings:

I attended the annual folk musicians' reunion in New York City's Washington Square Park this past Sunday, Sept. 13, and had the pleasure and honor of jamming and singing with some of the great figures from the old days. Among them were David Bromberg, John Cohen, Eric Weissberg, Mick Vandow, Hal Wylie, Kenny Kosek, Gene Tambour, and Roger Sprung. I also noticed Marshall Brickman and Danny Kalb among those present, but neither was playing any music when I saw them.

The only surprise was how overwhelmingly male it all was. What happened to all the women folk musicians from days gone by? This past Sunday they were few and far between.
