Malvina
Reynolds
(1901-1978) |
|
| "Little Boxes", "What Have They Done to the Rain?",
and "Turn Around" will probably be around
forever, and are just a few of the hundreds of songs written by this amazing
songwriter from Berkeley, California. She began writing in the 40s, but first
came to the attention of folkies when Pete Seeger had a hit with "Little Boxes".
(Incidentally, some people have tacked on extra verses to say that we all end up
in little boxes after death. Malvina disagreed with this editing and said that
it jarred with the song’s purpose, which was a sendup of populist conformity.)
Besides her many songs, she leaves three songbooks and at least seven albums. |

Tom
Rush
(1941-) |
|
| Singer-guitarist who was greatly successful
after beginning in the Boston/Cambridge folk scene. His wide repertoire included
blues, ballads, train songs, love songs, etc. His finger-style guitar playing
was copied by legions of folk revival pickers, including his open tuning
rhythmic method. He was adept at re-arranging the songs of earlier performers (such
as Lewis, Furry and Fuller, Jesse) and bringing them to the new, larger
audiences of the 60s and 70s. He appeared at every major festival and folk club.
Tom was one of the first to record the songs of Joni Mitchell doing "Circle
Game" and "Urge for Going" (which was released as a single in the 60s). He has a
large number of albums and continues to perform. Composer
of: "No Regrets" |
