I have recently started covering a song I heard on a Dave Van Ronk album - Mean World Blues by Niela Horn. Van Ronk makes a passing reference to her in his book as a songwriter in Greenwich Village - perhaps late 50's early 60's. I find no other information on this person Anyone?

Thanks.

Update, Niela Horn may have been Niela Miller, too.
