About the Show

This show consists of two parts:

Songs of Starpath by Carole Willis Walker and Tink

Returning from their 35-year hiatus, Carole Willis Walker and Tink perform hits from their out-of-print crossover folk album.

“Starpath album is the masterpiece we have been waiting for. Carole Willis Walker is a genius.” — Fired Up! zine 1985

Eulogy for Cookie

Tradition can really screw things up! Especially for Tony and Cookie. Aunt Cookie is dead and arrives at St. Peter’s gates to find the layout is less than desired! She approaches her mourners in an effort to set the record straight and acquire “a more sprawling layout.”

Uncle Tony is in prison but records the eulogy for his dear wife Cookie revealing his side of the story. As this Italian American couple from Jersey City tries to lay some things to rest, their loving niece Toni Ann recalls this interaction that took place at Riotto’s Funeral Parlor in her hometown of Jersey City, New Jersey.
