An Evening with Syd Straw, feat. Don Piper

Syd Straw was born singing and has been at it her whole long life, working fearlessly and happily with many of her heroines, and a number of men as well—such as Emmylou Harris, Rickie Lee Jones, Golden Palominos, Michael Stipe, Marc Ribot, Roseanne Cash, and Carlene carter. Syd played the math teacher Miss Fingerwood, on Nickelodeon’s The Adventures of Pete and Pete, and glamorous hippie chick Laurel on the original Tales of the City—like everyone else, she is working on at least 3 books, and writing her first musical by flashlight in her tent, and she is probably sorry she walked off with your lighter in her pocket.
