Howard Fishman's new book is a love letter from one musician to another. In between two tall mountains, there's a place they call them some. This is the first song of hers that I heard. It's called Talking Like You. Some people call it two tall mountains. See that bird sitting on my window sill, where he's saying whipper will? That's Connie Converse.
The life of musician Connie Converse easily reduces down to one of those Hemingway length sad stories: Before Dylan there was Connie Converse and then she disappeared.
In his new book “To Anyone Who Ever Asks: The Life, Music, and Mystery of Connie Converse” Howard Fishman gives us the complete tale. We meet up with Howard and learn why this incredible musician just couldn’t catch a break in 1950s New York City, and why he is devoted to her life and art.
