The Enigmatic Disappearance of Connie Converse, the Female Bob Dylan.

Connie Converse was a singer-songwriter who made her own recordings in her Greenwich Village apartment in the 1950s, but didn’t manage to break through, mostly because her music was neither fish nor fowl, and the music industry hadn’t known what to do with her. Her 1950s recordings resurfaced in 2009 on an independently produced album called How Sad, How Lovely, and have since gained a cult following. In August 1974, she sent cryptic handwritten letters to her closest family and friends telling them she was going away to try to start over again, somewhere else, and that they should not worry about her. She was last seen in Ann Arbor, in August 1974, and her car nor her whereabouts have ever been found.
