Stranger Songs
Tuesday October 17th, 2023 with Mike Regenstreif
Remembering Kate Wolf (1942-1986)

The theme on this edition of Stranger Songs is "Remembering Kate Wolf." Kate was a very fine singer and songwriter, and folk music activist, who died of leukemia on December 10, 1986, about six weeks before she would have turned 45. Although her career as a touring and recording artist was relatively brief, Kate was, in her time, and to this day, a highly influential artist. Click on LISTEN NOW to hear this show.

I feel as though I missed a very important artist while wandering in my wilderness. Thanks for the tribute show, Mike. I'm going to be diving into Kate Wolf in the near future.
