But here is the biographical information from his page Jon Pickow – bio: Jon Pickow began his singing career at a very early age, appearing with his mother, Appalachian folksinger Jean Ritchie at concerts and folk festivals throughout the country, including The Newport Folk Festival, The Philadelphia Folk Festival, Fox Hollow and The Mariposa Festival in Canada. He performed with Jean over the years until her retirement in 2009 and has produced, and performed on many of her albums. |

I met Jon at the Swannanoa Gathering a few years ago, and we had some great chats about Appalachian ballads. I'm very sad to hear of his passing. I deleted your previous post. -Mod |
