And, some more great early pics of Maxine Feldman...

below, recent photo stills (probably from 2001 or 2002) of Maxine, from the wonderful movie "Radical Harmonies." This is a MUST SEE movie, click here for more info on it.

Just found another pic of Maxine...bought a batch of lesbian albums from the early 80s this month (Jan 2005) and among them was a collection of solo performances by Mimi Jones, Sherry Pedone, Deb Huston and Julie Woods, on Rebecca Records, Watertown, MA, 1982...but the neat part was the pic of the producers, Maxine Feldman and Karen Kane. (photo by Barbara Hadden). For those who don't know of Karen Kane, she's engineer extraordinaire, having produced albums by a large who's who of lesbian performers.
