When I think of Maggie Estep, I think of the late-'80s poetry scene at ABC No Rio, the "anti-folk" community of poets and songwriters, seeing Estep's band I Love Everybody play, and the time when a friend told me that Maggie had told her that sher thought I was good-looking. Maggie's name also brings to mind a vanishing breed of artists who do what they do because it's what they're here to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-40258528770561445602014-02-15T08:20:52.400-05:002014-02-15T08:20:52.400-05:00This news is so sad - I helped Maggie with Mickey ...This news is so sad - I helped Maggie with Mickey and (that old diabetic cat) when I worked at the Rhinebeck Animal Hospital - it was always such a pleasure to see them - I always wanted to extend the appointment time to a coffee break and chat about everything as well as her pet's health.

How could a woman so young and healthy die of a massive heart attack? I can only think heart disease ran in her family. My friend's husband, who was in great shape, died in his 40s of a massive heart attack. His father died the same way.

Maggie found this hysterical and the whole day progressed in an ever rising series of stories - mostly hers - and doings that made it one of the absolute funniest and most enjoyable days i ever spent in that club.
