My perfect little model, Dusty is posing with the book I just finished reading.
To Anyone Who Ever Asks: The Life, Music and Mystery of Connie Converse by Howard Fishman is fantastic. Connie Converse, was a folk singer, sometimes described as a female Bob Dylan. Sadly, she never achieved the fame he did after trying her luck in NYC so she left the city and eventually disappeared forever. Even her brothers do not know what happened to her.
She used to play for small groups of people in NYC and sometimes it was recorded. In 2009, someone released a song by her and the author heard it and became enchanted. He spent the next several years trying to contact her family and friends to find out what happened to her. The book is well written, a combination real life mystery and a biography.
I am not really into her kind of music, but she did have a nice voice. Here is a YouTube video if you are interested.
Thank you for your review and you did a great job posing.
Thank you. 🙂
That book sounds interesting, real mystery! Goes well with beautiful Dusty, too! XO
Thank you. 🙂 XO
Oh, Ellen, mama is in love with this voice and oh, the lyrics of this song. Brilliant song writer. Mama had never heard of her, thank you so, so much.
You’re welcome. It is a shame she didn’t get famous. XO
Dusty is lovely posing. That is a mystery, but sometimes a person wants to disappear and start a new life. I hope that is what happened to her and not something bad.
Thank you. 🙂 I find it odd she would never have gotten in touch with her family so I assume she committed suicide. XO
That was long enough ago that a woman probably didn’t stand a chance to get too famous. Dusty you’re a good girl to show off a good book.
Good point. Thank you. 🙂 XO
Dearest Ellen,
Dusty is indeed a purrfect little model.
What a fate that Connie Converse just vanished in the early 70s.
SAD.
Hugs,
Mariette + Kitties
Thank you. 🙂 She is a good model. Yes, a sad mystery. XO
Dusty! YOU are the one..well, the famous-to-be- model one of the family! XX
Mom isn’t into folk songs either. I loved Joan Biaz’s music though.
Thank you. 🙂 XO
Dusty, you are adorable and a perfect model. The book sounds interesting and a mystery where we may never know what happened to her. I read a little about her on Wikipedia; her story is fascinating.
Yes, it pulled me right in. XO
Some books just resonant with us.
Dusty is a cute pie.
Yes, they do and yes, she is. 🙂
What an interesting post. I have never heard of Connie either….I hope where ever she went she found happiness and lives(d) a full life
Hugs cecilia
I hope so too. XO
That was very interesting and you are quite the beautiful model sweet Dusty!

Charlee: “Wow, that is a big book! I wonder what ever happened to her.”
Chaplin: “Dusty! Have we told you lately what pretty eyes you have?”
