Rosemary Kirstein - Steerswoman 04 (48 page)

More importantly and continuously, she remains a singer-guitarist,
playing hot acoustic fingerstyle guitar and very occasionally turning out an
original song. Early in her career, she was involved in the folk-music
resurgence centering around the Musician’s Cooperative in New York’s Greenwich
Village and was contributor to and sometime associate editor of the Fast
Folk
Musical Magazine,
a monthly combination magazine/vinyl LP. Back issues of
FFMM are planned to be reissued in CD format and will include some of Ms.
Kirstein’s music.

She is a member of The Fabulous Genrettes, which, despite
its name, is not a girl band, but a writer’s group based in the Boston area.
She reads science books for fun.

She recently moved from Boston to a small town in Connecticut
and seems to have survived the culture shock. At least there’s a good library.
