Howard Fishman is the author of To Anyone Whoever Asks, The Music and Mystery of Connie Converse. He came to New York hoping to make it as a musician; like Connie, he worked hard at doing his own thing. In 2010, Howard released three albums all at once with back-to-back CD release shows that only 50 people showed up for. "I realized in that moment, or later that night, maybe when I went home and started listening to her album, here was somebody who was doing what I have always done"
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.
