This program aired tonight on Boston's PBS channel. Have you seen it?
If, like me, you are a fan of Holly and her music, you might like it. I did.

No, I missed it.
Was there anything about Holly Near's tour
with Inti-Illimani, many years ago?

Yes, a little. The program covered many parts of her personal and professional life, so it didn't linger on this, but it showed her visiting memorial sites an Chile, too. That was very movng.
I saw her perform with them in Boston when they did a tour. I was lucky to have a friend who'd lived in the city and was willing to cope with driving and parking. On the way home he said that he enjoyed it but kept hoping that at some point Ronnie Gilbert would walk out from the wings and sing with them. Ronnie was also featured in the documentary.

It was a very good introduction to Holly Near, a person I knew almost nothing about.
