Ronnie Gilbert, the sole female singer among the folk-music superstars the Weavers for all but their earliest formative days, and a solo artist, activist, actor and psychologist over the years since the band called it a day in 1964, died on Saturday, though I managed to not get the unfortunate update till seeing Jarry House's post just now. Bruce Weber in the NY Times; Sing Out! hasn't managed to post their remembrance yet...
