Remembering Bess Lomax Hawes

Seminal folk archivist and performer Bess Lomax Hawes has died at age 88.  Bess Lomax Hawes is probably best known to casual folk fans as the cowriter of the classic tune “The MTA Song,” but her involvement in folk music represented so much more.  Peter Dreier submitted a fine remembrance to Huffington Post for those who would like to learn more about a woman who lived a remarkable life.
