	Ronnie Gilbert - Biography - AOL Music
		In the 1950s, Gilbert melded her joyous contralto with the radical voices of Pete Seeger, Lee Hays, and Fred Hellerman in their celebrated group The Weavers, which brought folk rhythms and social activism to the mainstream even while being branded as subversives, in the hysteria of the McCarthy era, and fllisted.
		In 1963, divorced both from her husband and from the cultural expectations of a wife, Gilbert was beginning to build a solo singing career when she met Joseph Chaikin, then a young actor/director with a fledgling experimental troupe, The Open Theater.
		Gilbert met, was inspired by, and sang with Holly Near, recording Lifeline (live, 1983) and Singing With You (1986) with Near, and Harp (1985) with Near, Arlo Guthrie, and Pete Seeger.

	Holly Near & Ronnie Gilbert
		When Holly Near and Ronnie Gilbert united for a series of concerts at San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall in 1983, it was an historic intersection of two generations of fearless topical folksingers and songwriters.
		Near’s dedication of an early solo album to Gilbert came at a time when Ronnie had long since retired from singing and was working as an actor and psychotherapist.
		Hearing that record, Ronnie realized that “here was this woman with a beautiful voice and songs about a woman’s experience that expressed very serious political beliefs with such joy.

	Holly Near and Ronnie Gilbert
		With Lifeline Extended, we find Near sharing the stage with Ronnie Gilbert of the ground-breaking 1950's Weavers folk group, whose career was cut short by the infamous fllisting of the McCarthy era, for their support of labour causes.
		Gilbert, in fact, was the only member of the Weavers who was not called before the hearings, because she used her married name in her personal life, and the investigators never located her.
		But this recording was made 20 years ago, and as such, it is still a fine example of a live concert with the spirit and atmosphere of the night.

	WAMC Performing Arts Studio - News and Reviews - Ronnie Gilbert
		Gilbert gave up singing concerts eight years ago, and she sang much less than she spoke on Friday.
		In this story and her singing of the song with its coda from the writings of Thomas Paine, Gilbert portrayed the populist convictions of the Weavers and other progressives such as Paul Robeson as staunchly, essentially American.
		Gilbert brought her listeners up to date, recalling the 1983 comeback that folksinger/fan Holly Near (who sings at WAMC next week) engineered, and her activist work protesting the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories with Women in Black — and her evolution as a feminist.

	Weavers
		Ronnie Gilbert, Lee Hays, Fred Hellerman and Pete Seeger formed the quartet in 1947.
		At the age of 12 Ronnie began appearing on radio and according to the Classics Record Library "by then she knew hundreds of songs." During her teens she sang with choral groups and various vocal ensembles, and according to Ronnie "that was my most valuable musical training."
		While America was listening to juke box hits, Senator McCarthy was at work in Washington, D.C. The Weavers commercial success was brought down by the McCarthy era "fllisting." They managed to surpass this misfortune and their work provided the platform and artistic freedom for groups like The Kingston Trio.

		Standing alone onstage in front of a makeshift lecturn, the white-haired, bespectacled Gilbert wove her way not only through her thoroughly lived life, but also a slice of American history, at least as seen through the eyes of the left wing.
		Gilbert, of course, is best known as one of the founding members of the pioneering folk quartet, the Weavers, which she helped form more than a half-century ago with Pete Seeger, Fred Hellerman and Lee Hayes.
		Gilbert was 10 years old, and she seems to have taken the left fork in the road ever since.

		The 56-year-old Gilbert and the 33-year-old Near could have been mother and daughter in more ways than one, and the selections made for a virtual history of the music of leftist folk music, which Gilbert pioneered with the Weavers in the 1940s, '50s, and '60s, and which Near furthered in the '70s and '80s.
		The singers were forceful and complementary, no surprise since Gilbert is a major vocal influence on Near.
