A book has recently been published called Bear Suit Follies. It is about Antonia; much of the content was written by Antonia. Someone else, however, gets author credit.
The Mudcatters who know Antonia, have very intense feelings about her, as is evident from existing Mudcat threads. She hasn't got her own thread, however, prior to this.
According to author John McFadden in Bear Suit Follies, this songwriter's birthname is Barbara Ann Goldblatt and her Brooklyn-based family had both Jewish-American and Polish-American origins.
Professionally she most often answered to Antonia, sometimes to Antonia Duren. Marriage to Peter Stampfel of the Holy Modal Rounders resulted in her married name.
John McFadden states that Antonia now lives in an assisted-living facility in Florida.
At least one Antonia song lyric is in the DigiTrad here.
Would those who know of, and love, Antonia care to keep this thread going?
