Although I never saw him in person I still enjoy the two LPS of him in my collection. More of a cabaret sing, I would think, he did write "Lemon Tree" and "Raspberries, Strawberries." He was 86 when he passed last week. Reading about the deaths of Holt and Ronnie Gilbert on consecutive days is making me feel very old--but then again, I probably am. |
