Phoebe Snow with Maria Muldaur - Pray For The USA

I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my dear Sister in Music, Phoebe Snow. We met in New York in 1970, in front of Gerde's Folk City. Knowing that I was a big Memphis Minnie fan, and had already recorded one of her songs, Phoebe whipped out her guitar and sang & played an amazing rendition of Memphis Minnie's "In My Girlish Days". I was absolutely awe-struck by her unbelievable voice and quite considerable skill on the guitar! Right there, in that moment, we bonded & became friends and Soul Sisters for life, a relationship that lasted some 41 years! Throughout both of our long musical journeys, we commiserated and gave each other mutual support and advice on life, love, and the vicissitudes of this crazy life called the" music business".

Phoebe was so much more than a singer. She was an absolutely formidable force of nature! Every time she opened her mouth to sing, she unleashed an earth-shaking, electrifying Power and Musical Energy that reached out and grabbed you & transported you to a higher place.

I feel so blessed to have known her as an intimate friend and have had the chance to collaborate with her musically. I will miss her terribly, but take solace in knowing that she is reunited with her precious Valerie and that she is raising the roof, or should I say clouds, belting it out in that Heavenly Choir on High!

I've been fortunate to see both Maria & Phoebe a few times over the years; Phoebe most recently in '08 when she was making a 'comeback' off sorts after the passing of her dear daughter Valerie. She was the headliner @ an annual outdoor fest Albany does each year on Mother's Day weekend. W/in moments onstage, she 'grabbed' most of the mostly young, mostly inebriated crowd who had little or no idea who she was & held them transfixed throughout her set.

This is an old classic by the legendary Clark Sisters. I sure do miss the blue-eyed soul of Phoebe Snow.
