In my old age and as I specialize more and more in traditional music, I've gotten pickier about my song sources. At the same time, I hate to entirely throw out those songs I've known since I was 16 and hunched over a guitar with the Judy Collins and Joan Baez songbooks as my old and new testaments. But, before I sing 'em in public again, I'd like to vet them a bit.

So, to start, who is the Mary Robbins who arranged or adapted a lot of traditional songs in the Judy Collins Songbook? In particular, I've retained Wild Rippling Water in my repertoire.

Doing a search in Google using the keywords Marty Robbins, reveals a number of fan based web and memorobilia sites.

This one has a good bio and other information on him.

APOLOGIES.
Well intentioned but I just gotta learn to read. (I thought we were talking about Marty Robbins.) Now where are those damned bi-focals?

I posted the original question, and given the lack of (appropriate) response I'm going re-post with a new subject line: Help: Judy Collins Songbook: Who's Mary Robbins? If you care to follow it, go there.
