Greetings, Gentle Colleagues:

I've recently come across some interesting Smithsonian Folkways recordings of June Lazare, whom, according to liner notes, was:

"A music teacher and folk enthusiast June Lazare, Folk Songs of New York City, Vol. 1 was born of research for a program presented at the New York Folklore Society. This research informs the liner notes which, combined with Lazare's gentle brogue, resurrects the enigmatic characters and defining events of New York City folklore."

Anyone know anything else about her? Is she still with us?

Kindest thanks for any information.

Deborah Robins
