Jackie Steiner interview

Condolences to the family and friends.

Jacqueline (Jackie) Berman was active in People's Songs Boston along with Bess Lomax Hawes with whom she co-wrote CHARLIE ON THE MTA as
a campaign song for Boston mayoral candidate in 1949, slightly revised
it became a huge hit for the KINGSTON TRIO a decade late.

As Jackie Berman she performed in many People's Songs Hootenanny's and
one track is preserved on Folkways FN 2511 Hootenanny Tonight.

As Jacqueline Sharpe her NO MORE WAR album (1966) circulated among many in the anti-war (Viet Nam) movement.

I have not heard her 1991 album "Far Afield: Songs of Three Continents" - would be interested in obtaining a copy if any
one knows where to get it. Perhaps someone would post or PM a
track list. Thanks!

Thomas.
