[HANASHIR:6799] Re: Bob Blue

[FAVNI <FAVNI...>]

To all and sundry -Just an aside - I too know and admire Bob Blue as an 
amazing mensch -and am a member of the wonderful CMN network. Anyone 
interested in music for children should join. It is a great chain of caring 
individuals who promote a love of music and a love of humanity.
As well, Marcia Berman is not related in any way shape or form to Malvina 
Reynolds, other than that she is one of the grande dames of children's music 
as well - and an old friend of Malvina's. 
Malvina's only daughter is Nancy Schimmel, my co-writer and co-founder of 
StarFish Music - with our '"I'M ALL EARS:SING INTO READING" recording 
promoting early literacy. Nancy is an incredible songwriter/storyteller in 
her own right and every bit as wonderful as Malvina was. You can take a look 
at her website at sisterschoice,com
She is responsible for the magic Penny award - and trustee of all Malvina 
materials.
In her mid-60's nancy is a cohort of all the great folkies still around.
