To Anyone Who Ever Asks: The Life, Music, and Mystery of Connie Converse

by Howard Fishman Author

This account examines the enigmatic life of Connie Converse, a mid-century New York City songwriter and singer whose haunting music never gained widespread fame. Her music, a blend of Americana, jazz, folk, predated the singer-songwriter wave of the '60s led by icons like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. She then mysteriously vanished in 1974 at age fifty, leaving behind only the nascent beginnings of legend. Author Howard Fishman spent twelve years researching, visiting her old haunts, and conducting countless interviews to put together To Anyone Who Ever Asks.
