01 Aug 09 - 01:15 AM (#2691423) Subject: Folklore: Meri Kayne - folk/jazz singer NYC 1960s From: janbo Anyone remember a NYC guitarist/singer named Meri Kayne? She(?) was playing folk pre 1964 and then jazz post 1964. All I know about her is from a letter that she sent to Louis McKay, Billie Holiday's windower, about Spider John Koerner's song 'Lady Day'. Meri Kayne lived in Jackson Heights at the time(1964). |

To bring you up to date, I don’t look very much different except I let my hair go back red and I wear red Elton John glasses instead of contacts. Guess I look about 55 or 60. Same clothes fit, all that stuff. Stopped pro music when my son was born in 1971 so I could raise him myself. Spent the time between then and 2015 in IT and no, I’m not retired. Never will be. Been a heck of a life! Wish I could actually contact you guys. |
