Stranger Songs

Remembering Barbara Dane (1927-2024)
The theme on this edition of Stranger Songs is Remembering Barbara Dane, the folk, blues and jazz singer – and political activist – who died at home in Oakland, California on October 20 at age 97.
The photo of Barbara and me was taken at the 2017 Folk Alliance International conference in Kansas City after I interviewed Barbara on stage during the Wisdom of the Elders panel.
